Ingredients

This ancient recipe that I adapted from the book by Urbain Dubois "la nouvelle cuisine bourgeoise". It is a difficult recipe to realize but it is worth the try.

whipped chestnut cream:

5 dozens chestnuts, peeled and skinned
1 litre whole milk
50g caster sugar
2 vanilla pod, halved and grated
caster sugar equal to the total weight of your chestnut pure
1 litre whipping cream

Step-by-step directions

Description

1 Cook your chestnuts into the milk with the vanilla pods and 50g of caster sugar.

2 Test your chestnuts from time to time and when they will mash between your fingers strain them along with the vanilla pods.

3 Mash finely the chestnuts.

4 Weight up your chestnut pure and add the same weight of caster sugar to the pure. Mix it in a pot over a low heat stirring at all time until the pure has dried out. Set aside in a bowl to cool down when done.

5 Whip the cream.

6 Whisk 3 tablespoons of whipped cream into the chestnut pure and carefully fold the rest the cream into your chestnut pure with a spatula.

When done place in the fridge.

Serve on a round salad dish. The author of this recipe advise to garnish your chestnut pure with some meringues!
