Mousse de castañas
Ya he dicho que me encantan las castañas y el otro día viendo mis antiguos cuadernos de recetas (que ya se caen de viejos algunos) encontré esta receta de Mousse de castañas (acuérdense que se usa el puré de castañas que viene listo para que no se aproblemen)
He visto incluso que el puré de castañas es más barato que la lucúma (que me encanta) pero siempre es más cara (debe ser que se usa más.
Este es un postre muy rico además liviano para esta época del año.
No me demoré nada en hacerlo. Y casi diría que a la hora le saqué fotos . Pero lo ideal es dejarlos una hora y 1/2 a 2 horas en el refrigerador.
Ingredientes
2 tazas o 400 gramos de puré de castañas congelado
(Mel o Guallarauco)
1 1/2 taza de crema ya batida
1 cucharadita de ralladura de naranja
1/3 taza de coñac o ron (optativo)
3 cucharadas de azúcar
2 cucharaditas de gelatina en polvo sin sabor (o agar-agar)
crema batida para servir
Preparación
Disolver la gelatina en 1/4 taza de agua tibia y revolver bien para que se disuelva.
Batir la crema firme agregando de a poco el azúcar.
Reservar.
En otro bol mezclar el puré de castañas (si es congelado basta sacarlo un rato antes a temperatura ambiente y estará listo para usar)con la ralladura de naranja y el coñac.
A esta mezcla agregar con movimientos suaves la crema batida y finalmente agregar la gelatina ya disuelta e incoporar bien.
Distribuir la mousse en pequeños pocillos o moldes y llevar al refrigerador.
Para servir desmoldar con la punta de un cuchillo por la orilla y poner en un plato adornar con crema o con un poco de chocolate!

DeleteQuerida Glorita! Amo las castañas, lástima que aquí sólo las venden con azúcar y si uno no las quiere tan dulces tieene que hacer su propio puré. Pero bueno, este postre está mortal, de muerte lenta lenta, me parece que te lo voy a pedir prestado. Qué bueno te gustaron mis platitos, eran de mi mami, tienen sus buenos años! por suerte conservo el juego completo, salvo la tapa de la tetera. Besitos
ReplyDeletePame tus platos eran preciosos!"ya sabes siempre ando.mirando los platos lindos.
DeleteRespecto al pure de castaña es cierto he notado que el. Mel.no es tan dulce. Bueno en otoño si encuentro castañas hago mi puree este postre es delicioso y antiguo.
