• 500ml single cream

• 1 tin (397g) sweetened condensed milk

• Dash of vanilla extract

• 10 Ferrero Rocher chocolates (for the mixture)

• 10 Ferrero Rocher chocolates (for garnish)

• Fresh raspberries (for garnish)

• Fresh basil (for garnish)

Directions

1. Prepare the Mixture
   In a large mixing bowl, whip the single cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the condensed milk and a dash of vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.

2. Add the Ferrero Rocher
   Crush 10 Ferrero Rocher into small chunks and fold them into the cream mixture, ensuring even distribution throughout the base.

3. Transfer to a Mold
   Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

4. Freeze
   Fold the plastic wrap over the top to cover and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until the terrine is completely set.

5. Serve
   Unmold by lifting the plastic wrap. Slice into thick pieces and garnish each with a whole Ferrero Rocher, a few fresh raspberries, and a sprig of basil.

FAQs

1. Can I use heavy cream instead of single cream?

Yes, heavy cream will give an even richer texture—just ensure it’s whipped to soft peaks.

2. How long does it need to freeze?

A minimum of 6 hours, though overnight is recommended for the best firmness.

3. Can I use other chocolates besides Ferrero Rocher?

Absolutely—try chopped hazelnut truffles, chocolate-covered nuts, or pralines.

4. Does the basil add flavor or just garnish?

Primarily garnish—basil adds a fresh pop of color and aroma, but it can be omitted.

5. Can I make this in individual molds?

Yes, use silicone cupcake molds or ramekins for single servings; adjust freeze time accordingly.

6. What’s the best way to crush Ferrero Rocher?

Use a sharp knife or gently crush with a spoon to preserve chunks while breaking the chocolate shell.

7. Will this melt quickly after serving?

Yes—it’s ice cream-based. Serve immediately after slicing for best presentation.

8. Is it safe to refreeze leftovers?

Refreezing can compromise texture; store uncut portions tightly wrapped and serve as needed.

9. Can I add fruit inside the terrine?

Yes—chopped raspberries or strawberries mix well with the chocolate and cream base.

10. How do I keep the slice neat with garnishes?

Garnish each individual slice after cutting for best appearance and ease of serving.
