Galaxy Mirror Glaze
  • 1.5 cups white chocolate chips high quality
  • 0.5 cup light corn syrup
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar for glaze
  • 0.5 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tbsp unflavored gelatin powder

Equipment

  • Fine mesh sieve

Method
 

  1. Mix crushed cookies and melted butter. Press into an 8-inch pan and freeze.
  2. Cook blueberries, 2 tbsp sugar, and lemon juice until thick. Let cool completely.
  3. Bloom 2 tsp gelatin in 2 tbsp water, then melt in the microwave.
  4. Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Fold in whipped heavy cream. Stir in the melted gelatin.
  5. Layer cheesecake batter and blueberry compote over the crust. Swirl with a knife, smooth the top, and freeze solid overnight.
  6. For the glaze, bloom 1 tbsp gelatin in cold water. Boil corn syrup, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup water. Remove from heat.
  7. Stir bloomed gelatin and condensed milk into hot syrup. Pour over white chocolate chips, let sit 3 mins, then blend until smooth.
  8. Divide glaze into bowls, color with food dye, and let cool to exactly 90°F-94°F (32°C-34°C).
  9. Pour colored glazes into one cup, then pour over the frozen cheesecake elevated on a stand.
  10. Decorate immediately with edible gold stars. Let thaw in the fridge for 3 hours before serving.

Notes

Using a digital thermometer is critical for the mirror glaze. If poured too hot, it will melt the cake; if too cold, it will be lumpy. The cake MUST be completely frozen before glazing.
