The Two Colour Chocolate Terrine Panaché is a decadent dessert that is perfect for a special occasion or dinner party. Its smooth and creamy texture is achieved by combining two types of chocolate with cream and egg, and it is flavored with cognac or Amaretto for a hint of sophistication. The beautiful two-toned layers of chocolate make for an impressive presentation that is sure to wow your guests. With just a few simple ingredients and some refrigeration time, you can create a dessert that looks and tastes like it came from a gourmet bakery.

Instructions

1.	Break both types of chocolate into small pieces and place them in separate heat-proof bowls.
2.	Heat the cream in a saucepan until it comes to a boil, then remove it from the heat and divide it into two equal parts.
3.	Pour one half of the cream into each bowl of chocolate and stir until the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
4.	Beat the egg in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, then gradually fold in each bowl of chocolate mixture separately.
5.	After adding the first bowl of chocolate mixture, add one teaspoon of cognac or Amaretto and stir until combined. Then, add the second bowl of chocolate mixture and stir until combined.
6.	Pour the mixture into a terrine mold and smooth the top with a spatula.
7.	Cover the mold with cling film and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight, until the mixture has set.
8.	Before serving, run a knife along the edge of the mold to loosen the terrine, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate. Decorate with raspberries and serve chilled.
