How does this chocolate glaze harden?

The glaze hardens as it cools, thanks to the combination of melted dairy-free chocolate chips and the whipped vegan butter substitute.

What kind of vegan butter substitute works best for this glaze?

The recipe specifically recommends using Earth Balance vegan butter substitute for creaming with the sea salt to achieve a light and fluffy texture.

Can I use regular semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of dairy-free?

No, the recipe specifies semi-sweet dairy-free chocolate chips to ensure the glaze remains plant-based and suitable for a vegan diet.

What is the best way to melt the chocolate chips for this recipe?

You can melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a microwave, stirring every 20 seconds, then set them aside to cool for about 10 minutes before combining.

How should I store leftover glaze or desserts with this glaze?

Once the glaze has cooled and hardened on your dessert, store the dessert as you normally would. If you have any liquid glaze remaining, it will harden at room temperature and can be gently reheated if needed for future use.
