Hi Angela.

Valrhona’s Absolut Cristal Neutral Glaze is a professional shiny glaze designed to give a mirror-like finish to chilled desserts. This type of glaze has a gelatin-based formula and is stabilized to remain fluid and glossy at refrigeration temperatures (4°C / 39°F).

While nappage is typically a ready-to-use product, you can also make it at home.

Here’s a simple recipe:

Ingredients:

150 g sugar

150 g water

7 g powdered gelatin

35 g cold water (for blooming the gelatin)

Preparation:

To make this cake glaze or nappage, start by blooming the gelatin in the cold water.

Meanwhile, bring the sugar and water to a boil to create a simple syrup. Once it reaches a boil, let it cool down to about 60°C (140°F), then add the bloomed gelatin and stir until fully dissolved.

Allow the mixture to cool and set.

When you’re ready to use it, gently reheat the glaze in the microwave until it becomes liquid again. Then, use a pastry brush to apply a shiny coat over your cake. Any leftover nappage can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days.

Best regards.
