How to Make White Chocolate Mint Terrine With Dark Chocolate Sauce

  1. **Prepare the Terrine:** Line a 9x5x2-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving a 3-inch overhang on all sides.
  2. Place the lined loaf pan in the freezer while you prepare the white chocolate mixture.
  3. **Make the White Chocolate Mixture:** In a large metal bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water.
  4. **Cook the Sugar Mixture:** Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler). Whisk constantly until a candy thermometer registers 160°F (about 4 minutes).
  5. **Remove from Heat & Add Chocolate:** Remove the bowl from the water. Add 12 ounces finely chopped white chocolate and whisk until completely melted and smooth.
  6. **Add Flavoring & Cool:** Stir in 1 teaspoon peppermint extract. Whisk until the mixture cools and thickens slightly (about 3 minutes).
  7. **Whip the Cream:** In a separate large bowl, beat 2 cups heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  8. **Combine & Freeze:** Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled white chocolate mixture. Spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  9. **Freeze:** Cover the pan tightly and freeze overnight.
  10. **Make the Dark Chocolate Sauce:** In a medium saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons unsalted butter and 4 ounces finely chopped dark chocolate.
  11. **Melt & Combine:** Stir over medium heat until the butter melts and the chocolate is smooth. Stir in 3 tablespoons of water.
  12. **Cool the Sauce:** Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  13. **Unmold & Slice:** Turn the frozen terrine out onto a platter and carefully peel off the plastic wrap.
  14. **Serve:** Cut the terrine into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place one slice on each plate and drizzle generously with the dark chocolate sauce. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs.
