Look for tubes or cans of sweetened chestnut pur?in the baking aisle during the holiday season.
Ingredients
- 1-2/3 cups whipping cream
- 4 egg yolks
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 oz bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 oz milk chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup sweetened chestnut puree
- 2 tbsp rum, (or 1 tsp/5 mL vanilla)
Preparation
In small saucepan, heat 2/3 cup (150 mL) of the cream over medium-high heat just until tiny bubbles form around edge.
Meanwhile, in heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar and salt ; slowly whisk in cream. Place bowl over saucepan of simmering water; cook, stirring, until thermometer registers 160°F (70°C) and custard is thick enough to coat back of spoon, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat.
Whisk in bittersweet and milk chocolates, chestnut puree and rum. Return to heat, stirring, just until melted and combined. Place plastic wrap directly on surface; let cool until stiffened, about 1 hour.
In separate bowl, whip remaining cream; fold one-quarter into chocolate mixture. Fold in remaining cream. Pipe or spoon into dessert cups. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 6 hours. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
