- 500ml (17fl oz) pot chocolate ice cream

WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- Before you start, line a 900g (2lb) loaf tin with clingfilm and set to one side.
- Soften both the ice creams just a little so they're easy to scoop. Put 3 or 4 spoonfuls of each of the ice creams into the tin, alternating as you go, you're after a bit of a checkerboard effect here. Scatter with the coffee beans.
- Keep going until all of the ice cream has been used up and the loaf tin is tightly packed. Return to the freezer for a couple of hours, or overnight.
- When you're ready to serve, warm a sharp knife in hot water and thickly slice the terrine.
- Mix the chocolate sauce with the espresso and drizzle over four large plates. Put a slice or two of the chocolate terrine on to each plate.
