No chocolate at all, all cocoa powder for the color. High quality cocoa is key. (I use bensorp, but valhrona/scharfenberger...whatever will be great) Start by blooming your sheet gelatin (take the sheets and submerge in a bowl of ice water). Boil water, sugar, cocoa and heavy cream, while whisking. Don't stop whisking, you'll burn the bottom of the pot. This will easily boil over if not watched. Boil for 2 minutes. Take off the heat, run it through a strainer if you have one and cool down to about 150 degrees. Then remove your gelatin from the ice water, give it a squeeze to get rid of all excess water and add your gelatin to the hot mix and mix it in with a spatula (don't want to whisk at this point and add air bubbles thats your glaze enemy right now) You want to use this glaze at 85-90 degrees, make sure whatever you are glazing is very well refrigerated/completely frozen otherwise you will melt the base during the glaze. (glazing bare cake will not work it will seep into the pores of the cake, you want to glaze mousses or buttercream covers only) Glaze on a glazing screen onto parchment, and then reuse the glaze for other stuff.
Water - 12 oz

(gelita sheets are great, I use gelita silver sheets. These look good though for you home bakers so you don't have a million sheets extra https://www.amazon.com/PerfectaGel-Silver-Gelatin-Sheets-Bloom/dp/B009GJXSMS/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=sheet+gelatin&qid=1570448090&sr=8-7).
This is the one I use. There are different bloom strengths and this one is commonly used for baking.
