The white mirror glaze<\/strong> is perfect for coating mousse cakes (french entremets) and yule logs, giving them an ultra glossy finish. It is made with white chocolate, glucose, and sweetened condensed milk or cream. Vanilla bean seeds are sometimes added for a more refined look. It will instantly elevate your mousse cakes with a beautiful mirror effect in a pure white finish.<\/p>\n

I love mirror glaze because it gives desserts a beautiful, professional finish. It is a must have in pastry making. I have several recipes that will be very useful if you enjoy baking. You will find in particular the ultra glossy chocolate mirror glaze<\/a>, which can be made with white chocolate, dark chocolate, or milk chocolate, for a guaranteed mirror shine.
\nI then shared a version made without glucose or sweetened condensed milk, which is just as good. I will add the links to those recipes below.<\/p>\n

Many of you asked how to make a white mirror glaze<\/strong>, so I decided to write this article to answer that question clearly.<\/p>\n

This glaze is the same as the chocolate mirror glaze mentioned above. The only difference is that it is a white chocolate mirror glaze<\/strong>. I sometimes add vanilla bean seeds, but this is completely optional.<\/p>\n

How to make a flawless white mirror glaze?<\/h2>\n

To achieve a perfect white and fully opaque mirror glaze, it is often recommended to add a small amount of titanium dioxide. However, for several years now, this ingredient, also known as the food additive E171, has raised health concerns and has been widely debated. I do not know at what dosage it becomes harmful. When I first made this glaze, it was some time ago and this issue was not yet discussed.<\/p>\n

I tried to find a white food coloring, but those I came across, despite being labeled as natural, actually contained E171.<\/p>\n

You can simply choose to leave it out while waiting for clearer information. The glaze will still be shiny, but slightly less white. The final color will also depend on the white chocolate you use. <\/p>\n

I recommend using Ivoire or Opalys white chocolate from Valrhona, or Z\u00e9phyr white chocolate from Cacao Barry.<\/p>\n

This white mirror glaze should be poured over mousse cakes made with light colored mousses, such as this vanilla mousse yule log, to achieve a clean and even coverage.<\/p>\n

Preferably prepare the day before glazing the mousse cake.<\/span><\/p>\n

This quantity is enough for a 20 to 22 cm mold (8 to 9 inch). For a 30 cm yule log (12 inch), multiply the recipe by 1.5. <\/p>\n
