Strawberry ice cream terrine with chocolate crisp (traditional method & Thermomix)
Description
Perfect for hot summer days or to keep in the freezer for impromptu visits, this strawberry ice cream terrine is both elegant and easy to prepare. Inspired by a strawberry mousse, it can be made with other seasonal fruits such as raspberry, mango or blueberry. The chocolate crunch adds an irresistible texture that contrasts wonderfully with the icy sweetness of the parfait.
