until needed.
2.In a 4 1/2-quart bowl of an electric mixer, using the wire whip
attachment, beat the egg, yolk, and salt at medium speed until
blended. While continuing to beat, add the sugar in a steady stream.
Beat in the creme de menthe. Remove the bowl from the mixer stand and
place over a pot of hot water. (The bottom of the bowl must touch the
water.) Cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly for 3 to 5
minutes, or until the granules of sugar have dissolved and the yolk
mixture has reached 140 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
Return the bowl to the mixer stand and beat at medium-high speed
until the mixture is thick and pale yellow, about 8 minutes.
3.Place the 2 tablespoons water in a small cup. Sprinkle the gelatin
over the water and let it stand for 5 minutes to soften the gelatin.
4.Place the cup with the softened gelatin in a saucepan with enough
water to come halfway up the side of the cup. Heat the gelatin
mixture over hot, not simmering, water. Stir the gelatin frequently
for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the gelatin granules dissolve completely
and the mixture is clear. Remove the pan from the heat. Leave the cup
containing the gelatin mixture in the hot water to keep the gelatin
warm until ready to use.
5.Remove the egg mixture from the mixer stand and, using a large
whisk, gradually whisk the gelatin in by hand. Using a large rubber
spatula, gently fold one-third of the whipped cream into the egg
mixture to lighten it. Fold in the remaining whipped cream.
Assemble the terrine:
1.Remove the loaf pan from the freezer. Pour half of the mint mousse
over the layer of chilled chocolate mousse and spread it level with a
small offset metal spatula. Place the pan in the freezer for 5
minutes.
2.Remove the pan from the freezer. Pour a thin layer of chocolate
mousse over the mint mousse layer and gently spread it in an even
layer. Return the pan to the freezer for 5 minutes. Pour the
remaining mint mousse over the chocolate layer and spread evenly.
Return the pan to the freezer for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the
freezer and pour enough of the remaining chocolate mousse over the
mint mousse layer to fill the pan to the same level as the ganache
coating. Refrigerate the remaining chocolate mousse, reserving it for
garnish. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer
for 1 hour. Refrigerate the terrine until ready to unmold.
Unmold and garnish the terrine:
1.Cut an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch piece of stiff cardboard and cover with
aluminum foil. Cut a piece of parchment or waxed paper to fit the
surface of the exposed filling. Press the paper onto the filling to
adhere. Dip the pan up to the top rim in very hot water for 20
seconds. Remove the pan from the water and immediately wipe dry.
Place the foil-covered piece of cardboard over the pan and carefully
invert the pan. Gently remove the pan from the terrine and smooth the
sides and top with a small metal spatula. Place the terrine in the
freezer while preparing the glaze.
2.Place the bowl containing the reserved ganache over a pot of hot
water. Cook over medium heat, stirring the ganache with a wooden
spoon, just until the ganache is fluid.
3.Place the terrine on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Pour the
ganache over the terrine, covering it completely. Refrigerate the
terrine on the wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes, until the glaze is set.
4.Fill a pastry bag fitted with a star tip (such as Ateco #5) with
the reserved chocolate mousse. Pipe a row of rosettes down the length
of the top of the terrine and around its base. Garnish with mint
leaves. Refrigerate the terrine until ready to serve.
