Best White Chocolate Terrine With Caramel Sauce Recipes

WHITE CHOCOLATE CARAMEL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Scatter the chocolate into a 9- by 13-inch glass baking dish. Roast the chocolate, stirring and smoothing it out with a rubber spatula every 5 to 10 minutes, until it is the color of peanut butter, 30 to 35 minutes. Don't panic if it looks clumpy and crumbly at first; working the chocolate back and forth with a rubber spatula will help it become smooth and creamy. Store at room temperature in a resealable mason jar for up to 2 months.
• To reheat, warm the jar in a pot of simmering water.

WHITE CHOCOLATE MINT TERRINE WITH DARK CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Steps:

• For terrine: Line 9x5x2 1/2-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, allowing plastic to overhang edges by 3 inches. Place in freezer. Whisk first 3 ingredients in large metal bowl. Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water); whisk constantly until candy thermometer registers 160°F, about 4 minutes. Remove bowl from over water. Add white chocolate; whisk until melted and smooth. Mix in peppermint extract. Whisk until cool and thick, about 3 minutes.
• Using electric mixer, beat cream in another large bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold cream into white chocolate mixture. Spoon mixture into prepared pan; smooth top. Cover and freeze overnight.
• For sauce: Combine first 3 ingredients in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until butter melts. Add both chocolates and whisk until smooth. Mix in 3 tablespoons water. Remove from heat; cool slightly. (Terrine and sauce can be made 1 week ahead. Keep terrine frozen. Cover and refrigerate sauce. Before serving, stir sauce over low heat just until warm.)
• Turn frozen terrine out onto platter. Peel off plastic. Cut terrine into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Place 1 slice on each plate. Drizzle sauce over. Garnish with mint.

CHOCOLATE CARAMEL TERRINE

Steps:

• Oil a 900g loaf tin and line with a double layer of baking parchment. Put the cream, cocoa, 200g caramel and a pinch of salt in a pan set over a medium heat and bring to the boil, whisking occasionally to combine. Tip the chocolate into a medium heatproof bowl and pour over the hot cream mixture. Leave to sit for 1 min, then stir everything together until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Leave to cool slightly for 5-10 mins.
• Beat the mascarpone into the cooled chocolate mixture using an electric whisk for 3-4 mins until smooth, glossy and the whisk leaves a trail behind in the mixture.
• To assemble the terrine, press the top halves of the caramel wafers into the bottom of the tin, cut-side up, trimming to fit if needed.
• Beat the remaining caramel with a whisk to loosen it, then spread half over the wafers in the tin. Spoon half the chocolate mixture over the top, then arrange the remaining wafer halves over the chocolate layer. Cover with the remaining caramel, ensuring everything is evenly covered, then top with the rest of the chocolate mixture. Cover the terrine with a strip of baking parchment, then freeze for at least 6 hrs, or overnight.
• Remove the terrine from the freezer 10 mins before serving, then turn out onto a chilled dish or serving plate. Dust generously with cocoa powder before cutting into slices.

WHITE CHOCOLATE AND STRAWBERRY TERRINE WITH DARK CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Steps:

• Line bottom of 9x5x3-inch loaf pan (with 7-to 8-cup capacity) with aluminum foil, extending foil over shorter ends. Puree strawberries in processor. Transfer 1 1/4 cups puree to small bowl; reserve remaining puree for another use. Stir white chocolate in top of double boiler set over barely simmering water until melted. Remove pan from over water.
• Combine sugar, water and corn syrup in heavy small saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat; boil until candy thermometer registers 250°F, tilting pan if necessary to submerge bulb of thermometer and occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush, about 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, using electric mixer, beat egg whites and cream of tartar in large bowl until soft peaks form.
• Gradually add boiling syrup to whites, beating until firm peaks form and meringue is cool, about 5 minutes. Fold white chocolate into meringue.
• Beat cream and vanilla in large bowl until medium-firm peaks form; fold into white chocolate mixture. Transfer 4 cups white chocolate mousse to medium bowl. Fold 1 1/4 cups strawberry puree and Grand Marnier into 4 cups mousse.

• Spread white chocolate mousse over strawberry layer. Freeze until almost firm, about 25 minutes.
• Spread remaining berry mousse over white chocolate layer. Cover terrine with plastic and freeze overnight. (Can be prepared 4 days ahead. Keep frozen.)
• Uncover terrine. Cut between foil and pan side to loosen terrine. Invert onto platter. Lift off pan and peel off foil. Serve with Dark Chocolate Sauce.
• To make chocolate sauce:
• Combine half and half, sugar, cocoa, butter and espresso powder in heavy small saucepan. Whisk over low heat until sugar dissolves and butter melts. Increase heat to medium and whisk until sauce just begins to simmer. Remove from heat. Mix in vanilla. Cool sauce.

WHITE & DARK CHOCOLATE TERRINE

Steps:

• Brush a 2lb loaf tin (about 22 x 11 x 6cm) with oil, line completely with cling film (the oil will help it to stick to the sides), then line the base with a strip of baking parchment. Gently melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water, then remove from the heat and leave to cool a little. Using an electric whisk, beat in 200ml of the cream until the mixture is just holding its own shape. Set aside while you make the dark layer.
• Melt the dark chocolate as you did the white, then remove from the heat and cool for 1 min. Little by little, stir the remaining cream into the melted chocolate until you have a smooth, thick ganache. Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks, stir a third into the ganache to loosen it, then fold in the rest.
• To assemble, spoon just under half of the dark mixture into the loaf tin and smooth the surface. Spoon over the white chocolate and smooth, then gently spoon the remaining dark chocolate mixture over the top, being careful not to disturb the white layer, again smoothing the surface. Cover and chill for at least 2 hrs. If you're making the terrine the day before, let it sit at room temperature for 1 hr before serving.
• To serve, turn the tin upside down onto a serving plate and use the edges of cling film to ease out the terrine. Remove the cling film and baking parchment and serve with the Star anise biscuits (see Goes well with, right).
