- When you start whisking, add the sugar and keep going until stiff peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form.
- Add the whipped ingredients from steps 4 and 5 into the mixture from step 3 and mix lightly.
- Once everything is combined, pour the mixture onto the tart base and put it in the refigerator.
- For the cream: Heat the sweet chestnuts in the microwave for 2 minutes to make them easier to crush.
- Crush the chestnuts with a masher and mix them with the sugar.
- Finally add the milk little by little and mix until smooth.
- Strain the sweet chestnuts.
- In a separate bowl, whip some cream until stiff peaks form.
- Add the strained sweet chestnut mixture.
- Once the mousse has set, roughly crush up the sweet chestnuts for decoration alongside the whipped cream intended for decoration.
