Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 150 grams Chestnut puree (unsweetened)
- 250 ml Heavy cream
- 50 ml Whole milk
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Sea salt
- as desired Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- as desired Crushed roasted chestnuts or chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Finely chop the dark chocolate and set it aside in a medium heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, granulated sugar, and sea salt. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is just about to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to melt the chocolate, then whisk gently until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Stir in the chestnut puree and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. The mixture should become thick and creamy.
Divide the mixture evenly between four small dessert glasses, ramekins, or pots.
Let the pots cool to room temperature, then cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
When ready to serve, top with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired, and garnish with crushed roasted chestnuts or chocolate shavings for extra texture and flavor.
