- 200ml heavy cream
- 100g sugar
- 50g butter
- 200ml caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate Ganache: In a saucepan, heat the cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chopped dark chocolate in a bowl. Stir until smooth, then set aside to cool.
- Make the Caramel Layer: In a small saucepan, melt the sugar over medium heat until it caramelizes. Add butter and stir until combined, then slowly add the caramel sauce. Allow to cool slightly.

- Add the caramel layer and sprinkle with sea salt. Let it set for another 10 minutes.
- Pour the remaining chocolate ganache on top. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours, or until fully set.
- Serve: Slice and serve with fresh berries or whipped cream for added flavor.
FAQs
Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?
Yes, but the terrine will be sweeter, so consider reducing the amount of sugar in the caramel layer.
How long does the terrine keep?
Store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Cover tightly to maintain freshness.
Can I add nuts to the terrine?
Absolutely! Adding chopped hazelnuts or almonds between layers gives a delicious crunch to each slice.
