Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate
- 200 grams Milk chocolate
- 200 grams White chocolate
- 600 ml Heavy cream
- 10 grams Gelatin powder
- 50 ml Cold water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 small amount Cooking spray or butter (for greasing)
Directions
Step 1
Grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan lightly with cooking spray or butter, and line it with plastic wrap or parchment paper, ensuring it hangs over all sides for easy removal.
Step 2
Sprinkle the gelatin powder over 50ml of cold water in a small bowl and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
Step 3
In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler), melt the dark chocolate until smooth. Remove from heat.
Step 4
In a small saucepan, gently heat 200ml of the heavy cream until warm (do not boil). Stir in one-third of the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
Step 5
Gradually whisk the warm cream mixture into the melted dark chocolate, stirring until smooth and glossy. Allow to cool slightly.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, whip 200ml of the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream gently into the dark chocolate mixture.
Step 7
Pour the dark chocolate mousse into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Tap the pan on the counter to remove air bubbles. Place it in the freezer for 15 minutes to set.
Step 8
Repeat steps 3 to 6 with the milk chocolate, incorporating another third of the bloomed gelatin into warmed cream, folding in whipped cream, and layering it over the dark chocolate mousse. Return to the freezer for 15 minutes to set.
Step 9
For the final layer, repeat steps 3 to 6 with the white chocolate, dissolving the remaining gelatin into warmed cream, and folding in whipped cream. Pour the white chocolate mousse over the milk chocolate layer and smooth the surface.
Step 10
Cover the terrine tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, to fully set.
Step 11
To serve, carefully lift the terrine out of the pan using the overhanging plastic wrap or parchment paper. Slice with a sharp warm knife, cleaning the blade between each cut for clean slices.
Step 12
Dust the terrine lightly with unsweetened cocoa powder for garnish, if desired. Serve chilled.
