Instructions

  1. Bring chestnuts and 250 ml water to the boil in a saucepan. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, until almost all of the water has been absorbed. Stir occasionally. Add 200 ml of milk, sugar, 1 sachet of vanilla sugar, butter and salt. Simmer while stirring, about 40 minutes, until the chestnuts have crumbled. Pour in 6 tablespoons of milk.
  2. Press the mass through a potato press. Cover and let cool down. Chop the couverture. Melt while stirring in a hot water bath. Let cool down. Whip the cream and 1 packet of vanilla sugar until stiff. Fill into a piping bag with a star nozzle.
  3. Alternately distribute a little cream and chestnut mixture into glasses. Finish with cream tuffs. Drizzle the tuffs with liquid couverture. Let dry.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
