Homemade chestnut cream with rapadura
Pour faire écho à la recette du bundt cake à la châtaigne et au chocolat, je vous livre aujourd’hui ma recette de la crème de marron maison avec laquelle j’avais fais ce délicieux gâteau et tant d’autres comme les madeleines au cœur de crème de marron.
Cet automne avec Monsieur, nous avions profité de nos montagne pour aller cueillir des châtaignes. Et comme nous en avions pas mal ramassé, je me suis dis que j’allais me lancer dans de la crème de marron maison. The temptation was great not to devour all the cooked chestnuts but I managed ! The use of rapadura in this recipe gives a more pronounced taste to the chestnut cream, I loved this little amber taste, Yum !
I'm not going to lie to you, fresh chestnuts take a long time to prepare, but in the end it’s so good that you quickly forget the hassle of peeling !
Homemade chestnut cream
Ingredients (pour 2 pots)
- 300 g fresh chestnuts
- 200 g of rapadura (whole cane sugar)
- 20 key of water
- 1 vanilla pod
Description
Preheat the oven to 200°.
Remove the first skin from the chestnuts using a knife then place them on a baking tray.
Bake the chestnuts 10 minutes then rub them in a cloth to remove the tan (the little downy skin).
Heat some water in a saucepan and cook the chestnuts in it for 20 minutes. Drain them then pass them through a puree mill, then book.
Heat the water and sugar in a saucepan, add the vanilla pod split in two and scraped as well as the chestnut puree. Let it cook 20 minutes on low heat.
Put in jars and keep cool, or eat it directly…
Enjoy !
