I love chestnuts and when I saw this recipe in Ela's blog, I told her, I will make soon.!
Her blog Gray apron has lovely recipes.
You can make this recipe with frozen chestnut purée or fresh if you are in Winter.
Some years ago we only make chestnut recipes in autumn/Winter but now we have frozen chestnut pure all year round.
Ingredients
(4 servings)
350 g chestnuts or 400 g chestnut purée
75 g (5 Tablespoons) butter, diced
75 g (3 oz) dark chocolate, broken in pieces
70 g (1/3 cup) sugar (if your chestnut puree has sugar don't add this)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 Tablespoon rum
Method
If you make chestnuts puree:
Make (1/2 cm) wide incisions in the shell of the nuts (one cut per nut). Place chestnuts in a pot with water. Bring to boil and cook for 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, remove 3 nuts at the time. Peel off both, the shell and the skin. Take three more nuts out...and so on. . Cook peeled nuts on low heat for about 40 minutes till tender.
Strain and pass them (while hot) through a potato press and into a medium bowl.
If you have the chesnut puree (frozen or in jars)
Combine the puree with , vanilla and rum. (If you need add the sugar too)
Meanwhile...
Melt chocolate on top of hot water. Add butter, stir to melt. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the chestnut mix.
With a hand-held immersion blender, blend the cream till smooth.
Transfer into cups or ramekins and keep refrigerate about 1 hour before serving.

EN ESPAÑOL
Crema de chocolate y castañas
Me encantan las castañas (desde siempre) asi que ha sido una maravilla encontrar dulce
de castañas en frascos o congelado, asi que cuando puedo hago algún postre de castañas.
Esta receta es de un blog estupendo Grayapron.com y mi amiga Ela me ha dado permiso para compartir su receta.
Es ideal después de una cena porque no es dícil, se deja preparada antes, se le pueden agregar berries (y aquí algunos le agregaron un poco de crema)
Con un cucharón retirarlas y dejarlas enfriar un poco, retirar la cáscara.
Ingredientes
(4 copas o vasitos)
400 gramos de puré congelado o envasado
o 350 gramos de castañas
5 cucharadas de mantequilla
75 gramos de chocolate en barra (Para repostería)
70 gramos de azúcar (sólo si se hacen las castañas, si es puré no porque normalmente ya
trae azúcar así que no necesita)
1 cucharadita extracto de vainilla
1 cucharada de ron o cognac
Preparación
(Receta para hacer puré)
Se ponen a cocer las castañas, haciéndole una pequeña incisión a cada una. Se ponen a cocer primero por un minuto (para quitar la cáscara)
Cocinar las castañas ya peladas nuevamente por aproximadamente 40 minutos hasta que estén tiernas.
retirar el agua con un colador y pasar por un pasapuré,colocar en un bol.
Si ya tienes el puré de castañas ya sea congelado o envasado:
En un bol unir el puré de castañas con la vainilla y el ron.
(no agregar el azúcar)
por otro lado derretir el chocolate a baño maría, agregar la mantequilla, hasta que esté todo unido.
Con una cuchara de madera unir con el puré de castañas.
(Si es puré natural se puede moler con un blender) si no
no hay necesidad.
Repartir en los bols cerámicos o en copas o tazas.
Llevar al refrigerador por una hora al menos.
Se puede servir con algunas frambuesas o frutillas o con un poco de crema.
Nota si se quiere hacer más cantidad agregaría unos 100 g de puré de castañas y un cucharada de mantequilla.
