Directions

1. Prepare the Pineapple Ice Cream:

   • Line an 8.5 x 4.4-inch (21 x 11 cm) loaf pan with parchment paper.

   • In a kitchen robot, pulse the frozen pineapple, powdered milk, and powdered sugar until the pineapple chunks break into small pieces.

   • Continue mixing at high speed for about 10 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.

   • Pour the pineapple mixture into the prepared pan and place it in the freezer for about 10-20 minutes to set slightly.

2. Add the Blueberry Layer:

   • Spread 4 tbsp of blueberry jam evenly over the pineapple layer.

   • Return the pan to the freezer while you prepare the next layer.

3. Prepare the Raspberry Ice Cream:

   • In the kitchen robot, pulse the frozen raspberries, powdered milk, and powdered sugar until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.

   • Take the pan out of the freezer and pour the raspberry mixture over the blueberry layer.

   • Place the pan back in the freezer while preparing the next layer.

4. Prepare the Mango Ice Cream:

   • Pulse the frozen mango and powdered milk in the kitchen robot until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth.

   • Remove the pan from the freezer and pour the mango mixture over the raspberry layer.

   • Top with 6-7 butter biscuits to add texture and a slight crunch.

   • Place the pan into the freezer for at least 2 hours to firm up.

5. Serve:

   • Once the terrine has set, lift it out of the pan and flip it upside down onto a platter.

   • Peel away the parchment paper, and allow the terrine to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.

FAQs

Can I make this ice cream terrine without a kitchen robot?

Yes, you can use a high-powered blender or food processor to blend the frozen fruits and other ingredients until smooth and creamy.

What if I don’t have a loaf pan?

If you don’t have a loaf pan, you can use any other freezer-safe mold or dish, as long as it’s lined with parchment paper for easy removal.

Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?

Frozen fruit is ideal for this recipe as it creates a creamy texture without the need for an ice cream machine. Fresh fruit may not give the same creamy consistency and might require additional freezing.

How long can I store this terrine in the freezer?

You can store the terrine in the freezer for up to a week, but for the best texture and flavor, it’s best enjoyed within a few days.

Can I substitute the butter biscuits?

Yes, you can substitute butter biscuits with graham crackers or any other type of cookies for a different texture and flavor.

Can I use other types of milk instead of powdered milk?

While powdered milk is used for its creaminess, you can substitute it with coconut milk, almond milk, or regular milk. However, the consistency might differ slightly.

How do I make the terrine more firm?

To make the terrine firmer, you can add a bit of gelatin to the mixtures or let it chill longer in the freezer.

Can I add more layers?

Yes, feel free to add more layers of different flavored ice cream or even fruit puree for added texture and color.

How do I serve the ice cream terrine?

You can serve the terrine as slices on their own or garnish with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
