I would recommend the 1:1 ratio, just make sure to let it cool completely so it’s thicker and easier to spread. You can also turn the 1:1 ratio into frosting. There’s instructions for how to do that in the post and recipe.

Hi, Colleen! This will kind of depending on your dessert. For an ice cream topping, the 1:2 ratio (4 ounces chocolate, 8 ounces heavy cream ) is a great option because it’s really thin and pourable. If you’re wanting a topping that’s soft, but will kind of set up and be easy to slice, then I recommend the 1:1 ratio. You can see how the 1:1 ratio looks on top of an ice cream pie here. The 2:1 ratio (8 ounces chocolate, 4 ounces heavy cream) is really thick and better for making truffles.

Thankyou been trying to the ingredients measurement that I can understand or want thank you again

Yes, just keep in mind that it won’t set completely like a regular glaze, it will stay soft. I have a baked donut recipe here with a chocolate icing recipe you could use instead.

Can I use the 1:1 ratio to glaze donuts?   Vanilla donuts with choc glaze. 

Hi, Shelley! Weighing them will give you a more accurate measurement, but it’s not necessary. It will be enough to cover the cheesecake, but it won’t be a super thick layer. You can see how much those measurements cover a 9-inch cheesecake in my chocolate cheesecake recipe here.

You can use the same ratios as the semi-sweet chocolate.
