Method

  • step 1

    Grease a 900g loaf tin with oil and line with a double layer of cling film. Put the coffee, sugar and 125ml water in a pan, and bring to the boil. When the sugar has dissolved, remove the syrup from the heat. Add the coffee liqueur and set aside to cool.

  • step 2

    Whisk the double cream until it just holds its shape. Fold through the mascarpone, and then the coffee syrup. To assemble the terrine, press half the halved mini rolls into the tin, cut-side down, trimming them to fit. Tip half the cream into the terrine, then line the whole mini rolls down the middle. Top with the rest of the coffee cream and press the other half of the cut mini rolls into the cream, cut-side up. Wrap with the cling film and press down gently to push the top layer of rolls into the cream, then freeze.

  • step 3

    Before serving, remove the terrine from the freezer and place in the fridge for 1 hr, then turn out onto a chilled serving dish. Dust heavily with cocoa powder before cutting into slices.

I also used the all chocolate rolls as it was all I could find. They are incredibly sweet but actually not so bad as part of this dessert. I forgot to take it out of the freezer soon enough and so also had problems with slicing - classic time where it's essential to take it out in good time... into…

This was SO delicious. Had it on Christmas eve. Love that you can completely make it ahead and put any uneaten back in the freezer. Will be making this again, often. I did have 2 problems with it though. Firstly folding the mascarpone into the cream was difficult. I did beat the mascarpone…

Okay, back with the rating as promised. It tasted really nice, and my guests loved it, but I found it impossible to cut it into neat slices. The outside edges of the cream base melted really quickly while the chocolate rolls stayed very firm. .

I wanted to do a make-ahead dessert for Christmas day and decided on this. As I was making it, I was convinced it wouldn't all fit into the loaf tin - but it did. I used some Baileys instead of the coffee liqueur, and I used the all chocolate version of the mini rolls as I don't particularly…
