Description
This rich and decadent heart chocolate terrine is the perfect Valentine’s day dessert. It needs only 10 minutes to prep and uses just 6 ingredients most of which are probably already in your pantry. Baked at a low temperature for 40 mins this is soft, creamy and silky smooth.
Ingredients
- 8 oz (8 oz) Chocolate
- ½ cup (113 g) Butter (1 stick)
- 3 Eggs large
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- ¼ tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp (30 g) All-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (55 g) Brown sugar
- ½ cup (120 ml) Whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven at 275 F / 140 C / Gas Mark 1
- Grease and line a 7-inch heart cake pan or 7-inch loaf pan
- Beat the eggs with sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until sugar is almost dissolved.Tip - do not over whip the eggs as we do not want to add too much air into the batter.
- Melt the chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler
- Next, add the whipping cream into the chocolate – combine well.
- Then, strain the egg mixture into the chocolate mixture – combine well.Tip - we strain the egg mixture so we break the eggs completely and remove any strings.
- Sift the flour over the chocolate mixture and combine well. Combine well to prevent lumps.
- Pour into the prepared baking pan. Bake in a water-bath on the center rack for about 25 to 30 minutesTip - for a water bath, place the baking pan in a large roasting pan. Pour hot water into the roasting pan outside the baking pan to reach almost an inch of the baking pan.
- Take it off the pan and let cool completely
- Place in the refrigerator overnight or at least 4 hours. Then, invert over a baking parchment paper.
- For the garnish - Use parchment paper cut out in any shape you want (see video). Place the paper on the cake. Dust the cake liberally with cocoa powder. Then remove the parchment cutouts
- This dessert is best served at room temperature.
