Ingredients

  • 2 Egg yolk
  • 25 grams Granulated sugar
  • 80 grams Creme de marron
  • 180 grams Milk
  • 70 grams Heavy cream
  • 4 cm Vanilla beans
  • 2 1/2 grams Gelatin
  • 15 grams Water

Method

  • Dissolve the gelatin in water.
  • Use a microwave or immerse in hot water to completely dissolve.
  • Set aside.
  • Add eggs and granulated sugar to a bowl and mix (you could use a hand mixer).
  • Add the marron cream and mix.
  • Add the milk, heavy cream, and vanilla beans (pods included) to a pot and heat until the sides start to bubble.
  • Remove the pot from heat, add the gelatin, and add the Step 3 mixture a little at a time.
  • Pass through a tea strainer (I strain it twice).
  • There will be bubbles on the top, so immerse the bowl in ice water to cool.
  • After cooling for more than 30 minutes, it'll be creamy and have a beautiful chestnut color.
  • Pour into the ramekins and chill in the refrigerator.
  • This is the Bonne Maman chestnut cream I used.
  • For the cream, whip 50 g of heavy cream, add 50 g of chestnut cream and whip until peaks form (I added 1 g of cocoa here).
  • The spoon for the containers were too small for the chestnut chunks.
  • It's too small and difficult to eat with.
  • If you have the same containers I have, I recommend using a different spoon.
