Frozen Peanut Butter And Chocolate Terrine Recipes

Steps:

• To make the terrine:
• Spray an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-by-2 3/4-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray. Line the sprayed pan with plastic wrap, allowing a 1 1/2-inch overhang on all sides.
• In a stainless-steel bowl, combine the chocolate, butter, and peanut butter. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate and butter melt. Remove from over the heat and whisk until smooth.
• Combine the egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment and whip on high speed until thick, about 1 minute. Remove the bowl from the mixer stand. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the chocolate mixture in 3 equal additions. The mixture will be quite thick.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the cream until it starts to thicken. Using a spatula, fold the cream into the chocolate mixture in 4 equal additions. Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Cover with the plastic wrap overhanging the sides and refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours.
• To unmold the terrine, fold back the plastic wrap and invert the pan onto a wire rack. Pull on a corner of the plastic wrap to release the terrine from the pan. Lift off the pan and carefully remove the plastic wrap. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the rack in it. Return the terrine to the refrigerator while you make the glaze.
• To make the chocolate glaze:
• In a stainless-steel bowl, combine the chocolate, butter, and corn syrup. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water, and heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate and butter melt. Remove from over the heat and whisk until smooth. The glaze should be pourable but not so thin that it will run off the terrine. If the glaze is too thin, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
• Slowly pour the glaze evenly over the top of the terrine, allowing it to stream evenly down the sides. With an offset spatula, spread the glaze to cover the terrine smoothly and completely. Refrigerate until the glaze is set, about 30 minutes.
• While the glaze is setting, make the sugared peanuts:
• Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy. Whisk in the sugar. Add the peanuts and mix until they are evenly coated with the egg white mixture.
• Spread the peanuts in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and place in the oven. Toast the nuts, stirring them every 5 minutes, until dry and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
• To serve:
• Transfer the terrine to a serving platter and arrange the sugared peanuts on top. Cut the terrine with a hot, dry knife.

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the peanut butter and confectioners' sugar together until smooth and stiff. Beat in the vanilla extract. Shape the peanut butter mixture into 20 (1-inch) balls and place on a waxed paper-lined sheet tray. Place the tray in the freezer for 1 hour.
• Add chopped chocolate to a small bowl set over gently simmering water. Stir to melt. Remove chocolate from heat. With 2 forks, carefully dip the chilled peanut butter balls 1/2 way into the chocolate, let excess drip off, and lay onto the waxed paper-lined sheet tray.
• With a fork, swirl some decorative chocolate across the top of each bite. Place in the refrigerator for the chocolate to set and the peanut butter to solidify, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium-sized bowl, fitted into a saucepan, covering but not touching barely simmering water, melt chocolate and butter.
• Add the coffee and sugar and continue to whisk to dissolve the sugar. Continue cooking until very hot approximately 120 degrees F.
• Remove from the heat and whisk in the eggs. Pour into foil-lined loaf pan and bake in a water bath for 40 minutes.
• Let cool, then chill overnight. Turn out the next day and serve in slices.

Steps:

• Make the chocolate peanut butter mousse--------------------.
• Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 9 1/4-by-5 1/4-by-2 3/4-inch metal loaf pan.
• Line the pan with plastic wrap so that the plastic extends about 2 inches beyond the rim of the pan.
• Place the pan in the freezer.
• Fill a medium saucepan one-third of the way with water and bring to a simmer.
• Place the chocolate, butter and peanut butter in a medium metal bowl over the simmering water and melt.
• When melted, set the chocolate mixture aside, keeping it warm.
• In a 4 1/2-quart bowl of an electric mixer, using the wire whip attachment, beat the egg yolks at medium speed until wellblended.
• While continuing to beat, add 2 tablespoons of the sugar in a steady stream.
• Remove the bowl from the mixer stand and place over a pot of hot water.
• (The bottom of the bowl must touch the water.) Cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly until the mixture is thick and tripled in volume, and registers 140 degrees F for 3 to 5 minutes on an instant read thermometer.
• Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk the mixture until it is room temperature.
• Using a large rubber spatula, gently fold in the reserved chocolate mixture.
• In a chilled stainless steel medium bowl, using a hand-held electric mixer set at medium-high speed, whip the cream and 2 tablespoons of the sugar until soft peaks begin to form.
• Using the rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture.
• Carefully scrape the mousse/terrine mixture into the prepared terrine pan.
• Smooth the top with the rubber spatula.
• Tap the pan on the counter to eliminate any air bubbles.
• Cover the top of the terrine with the plastic wrap overhang.
• Refrigerate for at least four hours until set.
• Unmold the terrine------------------------.
• Unfold the plastic wrap from the top of the chilled terrine, and use it to lift the terrine out of the loaf pan.
• Invert the terrine onto a rack set on top of a cookie sheet.
• Remove the plastic wrap from the terrine.
• Glaze the terrine------------------.
• Melt the chocolate and butter.
• Whisk in the corn syrup.
• Remove the melted chocolate from the double boiler and let cool for about 5 told minutes so it can thicken slightly.
• Pour the glaze over the terrine, spreading it evenly over the entire terrine using an offset metal cake spatula.
• Refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes.
• To serve--------------------.
• Slice the terrine with a hot, dry knife into 9 even slices, and then again in half making a total of 18 pieces.
• Place 3 pieces of terrine on each dessert plate.
• Sprinkle with toasted peanuts over the top and sides of the terrine.
• Garnish with sweetened whipped cream and chocolate curls.
