Notes
Ingredient Substitution Notes
- Corn syrup. Honey works well in place of corn syrup.
- Semisweet chocolate. use discs, chopped bars, or chips, it doesn't matter because it melts. You can change the flavor profile and use milk, dark or even white chocolate.
- Heavy cream. There are a few ingredients that work as a substitute for heavy cream, but you have to be careful how you use them.
- Evaporated milk works well as a 1:1 substitute.
- You can use whole milk and 1 Tablespoon butter, which replaces the fat in the heavy cream that isn't in the whole milk.
- Or, you can use half and half - but expect the glaze to be a bit thinner.
- For a dairy free version, use full-fat coconut milk or coconut cream.
