Tropical Terrine Recipes

TROPICAL SORBET TERRINE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Line a 6-cup (8 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches) loaf pan with a long strip of plastic wrap, leaving a 2-inch overhang on long sides; set aside.
• Spread coconut on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast in oven, tossing occasionally, until golden, 8 to 10 minutes; let cool completely.
• Sprinkle 1/2 cup toasted coconut in prepared pan. Dollop coconut sorbet on top, and spread evenly; sprinkle with cup toasted coconut. Repeat with raspberry sorbet and remaining cup toasted coconut, then mango sorbet. Fold plastic overhang over sorbet, and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours and up to 2 weeks.
• To serve, unfold plastic, and invert pan onto a plate; remove plastic. Slice terrine crosswise with a serrated knife.

FROZEN TROPICAL TERRINE WITH MANGO-BLACKBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Line 9x5x2 3/4-inch metal loaf pan with 2 layers of plastic wrap in each direction, leaving overhang. Sprinkle 1 1/4 cups toasted coconut over bottom of pan. Microwave 1 pint pineapple-coconut ice cream on low in two or three 10-second intervals until slightly softened. Drop ice cream by large spoonfuls over coconut in pan, then spread in even layer; freeze 15 minutes. Microwave mango sorbet on low in two or three 10-second intervals until slightly softened. Drop sorbet by large spoonfuls atop ice cream, then spread in even layer; freeze 15 minutes. Repeat with boysenberry sorbet, then remaining 1 pint ice cream. Sprinkle remaining coconut over top; press to adhere (filling will extend slightly above pan). Cover with plastic wrap overhang; freeze overnight. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Keep frozen.)
• Combine mango, blackberries, and sugar in medium bowl. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean and toss. Let stand at room temperature until juices form, tossing occasionally, about 2 hours. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover and chill.) Discard vanilla bean.
• Using plastic wrap as aid, lift terrine out of pan; remove plastic wrap. Cut terrine into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Place on plates; spoon sauce over and serve.

TROPICAL FRUIT TERRINE

Steps:

• Combine the coconut water, gelatin and sugar in a saucepan. Simmer for about 3 minutes or until gelatine and sugar has dissolved.
• Coat the bottom of a small loaf pan with the gelatin mixture. Put in the freezer to set a bit for 3-5 minutes.
• Arrange fruits on top.
• Pour in remaining gelatin.
• Wrap with plastic and chill for at least 4 hours.
• To remove from the mould, dip the loaf pan in hot water for a few seconds and invert onto a serving platter.

TROPICAL TERRINE

Steps:

• Line bottom and sides of 9x5-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap. Stand enough ladyfingers, cut sides in, to evenly fit along sides of pan.
• Stir boiling water into gelatin in large bowl at least 2 min. until completely dissolved. Stir in pineapple with its juice and the water. Refrigerate about 1-1/4 hours or until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites). Gently stir in 2 cups of the whipped topping and the oranges. Spoon into prepared pan. Arrange remaining ladyfingers, cut sides down, evenly on top of gelatin mixture.
• Refrigerate 3 hours or until firm. Place serving plate on top of pan. Invert, holding pan and plate together; shake gently to loosen. Carefully remove pan and plastic wrap. Top with remaining whipped topping. Store leftover dessert in refrigerator.

TROPICAL TRIFLE

Steps:

• Place a medium heatproof bowl over a medium saucepan filled with a few inches of simmering water; make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Place the butter in the bowl and melt completely. Add the sugar, passionfruit juice and lemon juice and whisk until smooth and combined. Whisk in the eggs until smooth. Continue to cook, whisking every 1 to 2 minutes, until the curd thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, 8 to 10 minutes. The consistency will be similar to thin gravy. Strain into a clean bowl and cool at room temperature for 15 minutes. Cover the surface of the curd with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled (the curd will thicken as it cools), at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
• Put the coconut milk in a large bowl and sprinkle the pudding mix on top. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until combined. Switch to medium-high speed and blend until the mixture is completely smooth and thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Keep refrigerated until ready to assemble.
• To assemble, spread 1/2 cup of the curd over the bottom of a large (about 3 quarts) glass trifle dish, then top with about half of the pound cake pieces, making sure there is one single layer of pound cake without any gaps. Top with half the pudding. Layer in 2 cups of raspberries, making sure to create a double ring against the outside edge of the trifle dish, so the color really shows through. Continue to layer the trifle dish with half of the whipped topping, the remaining pound cake, the remaining pudding, the remaining whipped topping and drizzle with the remaining curd.
• Place the kiwi rounds and blackberries along the edge of the trifle dish. Next, create a ring of raspberries working inwards. Pile the diced mango into the center of the trifle.
