Fruitcake Coffee Ice Cream Terrine Recipes

Steps:

• Special equipment: 9 by 5-inch (1 1/2 pound) metal loaf pan
• Overlap 2 (18-inch long) sheets of plastic wrap at their centers, forming a cross. Use the plastic wrap to line the long and short sides of the loaf pan, letting the excess plastic wrap hang over the sides. Empty the softened vanilla ice cream into the loaf pan and smooth into a level layer using the back of a metal spoon. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the chopped espresso beans and return to the freezer until firm, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the freezer and smooth a layer of coffee ice cream on top of the vanilla ice cream and espresso beans. Sprinkle with an additional one third of the espresso beans and return to the freezer until firm, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the freezer and smooth a layer of chocolate ice cream over the layer of coffee ice cream and espresso beans. Fold over the excess plastic wrap to enclose the terrine and return to the freezer until very firm, at least 1 hour. To serve, remove the terrine from the freezer and unmold onto a chilled platter, peeling away and discarding the plastic wrap. Cut into slices using a knife dipped into warm water and wiped clean after each slice. Serve on cold plates garnished with the remaining chocolate-covered espresso beans.

Steps:

• Line a metal loaf pan, 9 by 5 by 3 inches, with plastic wrap, leaving a 3-inch overhang on all sides. In a bowl stir together the fruitcake and the ice cream, spread the mixture into the loaf pan, and fold the plastic-wrap overhang over the top. Freeze the ice-cream mixture for at least 8 hours or overnight. Unmold the terrine onto a serving dish and serve it sliced.

Steps:

• Leave the ice creams out at room temperature for a few mins to soften slightly. Brush a 1.2-litre loaf tin with the vegetable oil and line with cling film. Put 250g dark chocolate and the coconut oil in a small heatproof bowl over a pan of just simmering water. Stir to melt, then set aside to cool.
• Spoon half the coffee ice cream into the base of the tin and level the surface. Working quickly, spread over a quarter of the chocolate sauce, then half the vanilla ice cream and another quarter of chocolate sauce. Repeat with the remaining chocolate sauce and ice creams, finishing with a layer of chocolate sauce. Cover loosely with cling film and freeze for at least 2 hrs, or ideally overnight.
• Melt the remaining 50g chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Lift the terrine out of the tin and turn out onto a plate. Drizzle with the melted chocolate and top with the crushed honeycomb or Maltesers. Cut into thick slices to serve.
