Mocha Ice Cream Terrine
- 1 pint premium vanilla ice cream, softened
- 8 ounces chocolate-covered espresso beans, finely chopped
- 1 pint premium coffee ice cream, softened
- 1 pint premium chocolate ice cream, softened
- 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.
