caramel glaze

Burnt sugar topping

A caramel glaze is a sweet, glossy coating made from caramelized sugar, often thinned with cream or butter to a pourable consistency.

It's drizzled over cakes, pastries, and desserts to add shine and rich, burnt-sugar flavor: The donuts were finished with a caramel glaze.
