Chocolate Terrine
Description
Perfect for the table and for drinks. Chocolate terrine is a dessert recipe for chocoholics. It is the most chocolatey of all the chocolate desserts I’ve tried. Very delicate, with an airy texture—it simply melts in your mouth in the first few seconds. The first time I tried this milk chocolate dessert, I fell in love with it for life. You can make it with all kinds of added ingredients: berries, nuts, dried fruits, and a spoonful of liqueur or cognac adds such aroma and a delicate aftertaste that you can’t stop eating. Today I’m sharing the recipe. It can be served warm or chilled.
