A glaze can transform any dessert into a masterpiece with its glossy finish and burst of flavour. This recipe offers a choice between a tangy raspberry glaze and a tropical mango glaze, allowing you to cater to your preferences or what you have on hand. Raspberry glaze is bright and tart, perfect for cheesecakes, cakes, or pastries. Mango glaze, on the other hand, brings a sweet and exotic touch, making it ideal for summer desserts. Both are simple to make and can elevate even the most straightforward dish.

Instructions

Prepare the fruit

If using frozen fruit, thaw it first. For fresh fruit, rinse and pat dry.

Pro tip: Fresh fruit generally provides a more vibrant flavour.

Cook the fruit

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the fruit, sugar, and lemon or lime juice. Cook until the fruit softens and releases its juices, about 5 minutes.

Pro tip: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Thicken the glaze

Stir in the cornstarch mixture and continue cooking until the glaze thickens, about 3 minutes.

Pro tip: Ensure the cornstarch is fully dissolved before adding.

Strain the glaze

For a smooth glaze, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing down to extract all the liquid.

Pro tip: This step is optional if you prefer a more textured glaze.

Cool the glaze

Let the glaze cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before use.

Pro tip: Cooling helps the glaze set and enhances its flavour.

Apply the glaze

Once chilled, pour or brush the glaze over your dessert of choice.

Pro tip: Use a pastry brush for an even coating.

Serve these glazes over your favourite cakes, tarts, or ice creams. The raspberry glaze pairs beautifully with chocolate or vanilla desserts, while the mango glaze complements coconut or lime-flavoured treats. Make-ahead options include preparing the glaze up to three days in advance and storing it in the refrigerator. For longer storage, freeze the glaze in an airtight container for up to a month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before use.
