Cheese terrine is ultra-rich, ultra-creamy and melting in the mouth smooth delicious and irresistibly good. Since this is a simple and easy cheesecake loaf, it will be nice to serve with blueberry sauce, place on graham crumbs bottom or top with cocoa powder like Tiramisu.
The recipe is straightforward and does not require whisking step by step and using a pan or bowl. All you need to do is place all the ingredients in a food processor or blender, process it once, then bake and chill overnight. It takes only 5 minutes before baking. Start by cutting cream cheese into 1-inch cubes and microwave for 30-45 seconds to make it soften. Cream the cream cheese and mix in sour cream and sugar.
Do not whip to prevent the mixture from holding air. The air makes cracks on the surface when baked. Mix in eggs one by one then take out some of the mixtures to another small bowl, add corn starch, and mix well until it becomes smooth. Add into the mixture and combine well then mix in heavy cream by driblets.
Once you are done, pour the mixture into the loaf tin. If you like it extra smooth, strain the mixture with a colander to filter clusters out before pouring it into the tin. Put the loaf in on a deep tray, and pour boiling water into a tray as 1/4 – 1/3 height of loaf tin. Put it in the oven, reset the temperature to 325F (160C), and bake for 60 min. Cool the Terrine in the loaf tin on a cake cooler. Leave it in the fridge for at least 3 hours for better texture. Enjoy.
