Ingredients
- 7 oz cooked chestnuts (200 g)
- ½ cup whole milk (120 ml)
- 4 oz dark chocolate (115 g)
- 3 oz brown sugar (85 g)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- salt
Instructions
-
Peel the chestnuts carefully. Add the chestnuts to a saucepan and pour in the whole milk.
-
Place the pan over medium heat and bring it to a gentle boil. Cook the chestnuts for 10 minutes until they are soft and the milk has almost disappeared. Stir regularly. In the end turn the heat lower and add the brown sugar and a pinch of salt.
-
Stir well. Then chop up the dark chocolate and add it to the chestnuts in the pan together with the vegetable oil.
-
Stir well again and let the chocolate and sugar gently melt and dissolve. Stir regularly. Once that is done, take the saucepan off the heat and let the chestnut mixture cool down a little. Then pour the chocolaty chestnuts in a clean blender.
-
Pulse firmly into a thick and chunky paste. Then check the seasoning and add extra brown sugar or salt to taste if necessary.
-
Pour the chestnut spread in a tightly sealed glass jar and then store it at room temperature.
