What is a mirror glaze?

Well, if you are still new to mirror glaze, the simplest way to explain is - A white chocolate glaze that is made with gelatin and condensed milk. The condensed milk is what gives the glaze that mirrors the quality we so desire.

The most common cake or entremets used as a base is usually a mousse cake. Often this mousse cake can include a jello insert making it an exotic entremets dessert. For example, a chocolate mousse cake with a raspberry jello insert or a Mango mousse cake with lemon jello insert.

Whatever you use as a base, it usually needs to be frozen or chilled until firm. So when the room temperature glaze is poured the mousse won't melt away.

The best part is that the glaze is really simple and easy to make. The disadvantage of mirror glaze is that you have to make four times the quantity you need leaving you with excess.

With regards to taste? The glaze is sweet but since most of it is poured over a very thin layer coats the cake. The rest that flows down is excess and can be saved for later use.
