Method

  1. Grease a 900g loaf tin with oil and line with a double layer of clingfilm, leaving enough overhang to completely cover the top of the tin.
  2. Blitz 150g pistachios in a blender for 15-20 mins until it forms a paste with a similar consistency to peanut butter – it’ll look like fine crumbs, before clumping, then going smooth. Add 1 tsp rapeseed oil, if you like, to help speed up the process.
  3. Whip the cream with an electric whisk until it reaches stiff peaks. Whisk in the condensed milk, pistachio paste, vanilla extract, half the chopped pistachios and a pinch of salt. Scrape into the tin, cover with the clingfilm, then freeze for at least 5 hrs or overnight.
  4. When ready to serve, make the caramel. Whisk together the olive oil and maple syrup with a pinch of sea salt flakes to make a silky caramel sauce.
  5. Uncover the clingfilm and invert the tin onto a serving plate. Firmly tap the tin to release the terrine, then peel off the clingfilm. Drizzle with the caramel and scatter with the remaining chopped pistachios and the orange zest, if using, to serve.

Tip: The terrine will keep for up to 3 months in the freezer. The caramel will keep chilled for up to a week in an airtight container.
