Instructions

Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, ensuring the edges extend up all sides. Sprinkle a third of the crushed Nutter Butter cookies into the pan.
In a large bowl, mix mascarpone cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Fold in the whipped topping until smooth.
Divide the mascarpone mixture into three portions. To one portion, fold in the sliced banana. Spread this mixture evenly over the cookie layer in the loaf pan.
For the second portion, stir in the melted chocolate and cocoa. Spread this mixture on top of the banana layer, then sprinkle with another third of the crushed cookies.
To the third portion, fold in the chunky peanut butter. Spread this mixture over the chocolate layer.
Cover and freeze for at least 5 hours or until firm.
To serve, invert the terrine onto a platter, remove the plastic wrap, and slice into thick pieces.

Notes

Ensure the melted chocolate is cool but not too warm before folding it into the mascarpone mixture.
Store the terrine in the freezer for up to 7 days, tightly covered to prevent freezer burn.
For a dairy-free version, substitute the mascarpone with non-dairy cream cheese and use dairy-free whipped topping.
Feel free to swap the Nutter Butter cookies with other crunchy cookies like graham crackers or chocolate wafers.
