Step-by-Step Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate:
Finely chop the chocolate and microwave it in a heatproof bowl at 600W for 1 minute. Stir until smooth. - Combine Ice Cream:
Add softened chocolate ice cream to the melted chocolate and mix well. If needed, microwave the mixture again for 10–15 seconds to ensure it’s fully combined and smooth. - Add Eggs:
Crack the eggs into the chocolate mixture and whisk until fully incorporated and glossy. - Prepare the Pan:
Line a small loaf pan with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the pan, smoothing the top. - Bake in a Water Bath:
Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F). Place the loaf pan in a larger baking dish filled with hot water (about halfway up the sides of the loaf pan).
Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. - Cool and Chill:
Let the terrine cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight for the best texture).
When it’s time to serve, simply slice the chocolate terrine and plate it with a dusting of cocoa powder or a few fresh berries for that extra touch. Your Valentine will surely adore this indulgent yet easy dessert!
