  3. Incorporate the Gelatin: Whisk the bloomed gelatin into the warm mixture until fully dissolved.
  4. Melt the Chocolate: Heat 1 cup of mini white chocolate chips in 15-second intervals until fully melted.
  5. Combine Chocolate and Gelatin Mixtures: Whisk the melted chocolate into the gelatin mixture and strain through a fine mesh sieve.

  7. Cool the Glaze: Allow the glaze to cool to about 90°F (32°C), stirring occasionally.
