Mont Blanc - Made with Chestnuts Cooked In Their Skins
- 200 grams Chestnuts cooked in their inner skins
- 100 grams Heavy cream
- 1/2 tablespoon~ your preference Sugar
- 1 tsp Rum
- 1 three 6 cm diameter pieces... save the rest for another snack ^^ For the tart crust
- 100 ml Heavy cream
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 2 Boiled chestnut in their skins (for the filling)
- 3 Boiled chestnut skins (for decorating)
- 1 Sugar
- Prepare the tart crust: I made mine 6 cm in diameter.
- Finely mince the simmered chestnuts for the filling.
- Make the chestnut cream: Put the chestnuts into a food processor, and blend into a paste.
- Add the sugar, rum, and heavy cream to Step 2, and blend until smooth.
- Please adjust the overall hardness to the same state as the heavy cream.
- The photo shows the chestnut cream after it's blended.
- Since it was a bit clumpy when I tried squeezing it, I decided to pass it through a sieve, even though it's a lot of work.
- I made about 250 g minus the amount lost from straining it.
- It is really delicious when you try it.
- It has restaurant-quality flavor!
- Put the heavy cream and sugar in bowl, and whip while it cools.
- Put it all together: Place 1/3 of the minced chestnut from Step 1 on top of the tart crust and squeeze 1 cm of the cream from Step 6 on top in a mound using a pastry bag fitted with a tip.
- Squeeze the chestnut cream from Step 5 on top.
- I use this type of pastry tip, but you can of course use a different one!
- I squeezed it from the bottom up in a spiral.
- Note: If you're using a wide piping tip, I think it's okay not to pass the paste through a sieve.
- Top with small chestnuts (for decoration) and a mint leaf (if you have some), and it is done!
