Topping

  • 150 ml (5.07 floz) Whipped Cream For cake

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, place the chestnuts, and fill it up with water. Then cook them for 2 hours until soft.
  • Once the chestnuts are fully cooked and softened, it's time to clean. Grab a paring knife and peel them. If you find it difficult to peel the chestnuts, leave them cooking for another 20 minutes.
  • After cleaning the chestnuts, place them on a cutting board and chop them into small pieces. To make some space for yourself, put the chopped chestnuts into a small mixing bowl.
  • When you're ready with cutting them, grab a large pot again and turn on the heat, wait for the pot to warm up; once it's warm, add the sugar and wait for it to melt. Once it's all melted, pour in the vanilla extract and water, and wait for it to boil.
  • Once it's boiling, add the chopped chestnuts to the pot, cook them for a few seconds, then grab an immersion blender, and start slowly, mixing until it’s a smooth puree.
  • When your puree is ready, there's only one step left to complete; place the puree into a mixing bowl (cover it) or a food storage container, and place it in the refrigerator until it cools down.
SERVE WITH:
When you’re ready to serve the puree, place a small amount of it (grated or chopped) on a dessert plate and add some whipped cream on the top.
