How to make the chocolate terrine

First, preheat your oven to 320F (160C). Then, butter the sides and bottom of an approximately 8 x 4 inches (1 liter capacity) loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.

Next, melt the chocolate and butter in a medium bowl over bain-marie, stirring occasionally until smooth. Once melted, remove the bowl from heat but keep it over the water. Stir in the sugar and then remove the bowl from the pan.

Incorporate cream into the mixture and add salt. Then, add the eggs one at a time and whisk until well combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and place the pan into a larger pan. Pour hot water until it reaches about halfway up the sides of the pan.

Bake the terrine for 30 minutes, then carefully remove the pan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving. When serving, it is best to let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes and cut into slices using a hot knife.

Prepare the chocolate covered strawberries

Melt 4 oz (120g) semisweet chocolate over bain-marie, then remove from heat and add 1.5 oz (40g) chopped semisweet chocolate for tempering. Stir until melted. Dip the strawberries in chocolate and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Optional, you can melt milk chocolate and drizzle it on top for added decoration. Let the strawberries set to room temperature.

Before serving, decorate the Chocolate Terrine with Chocolate Covered Strawberries for a beautiful and delicious finish. Arrange the strawberries on top of the terrine, and enjoy this decadent dessert with family and friends!
