Easter kulich glaze with sugar
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The glaze is easy to work with, has an attractive glossy appearance, and applies smoothly. If you don't want large drips, apply the glaze several times in thin layers with short intervals in between. It's best to use unsweetened dark chocolate for this glaze, as sugar is added during preparation and the glaze might become overly sweet. Lemon juice balances the sweetness and adds a subtle citrus aroma.
