Chestnuts are often linked to the festive season, but their versatility makes them a delightful ingredient for both sweet and savory dishes year-round. With precooked and peeled chestnuts now widely available, cooking with them has never been easier. In this one-day workshop, you’ll discover how to create two elegant chestnut desserts.
First, you'll master the Mont Blanc tart, a classic treat from Italy and France, which became popular in Japan. Named for its resemblance to the iconic mountain on the French-Italian border, this dessert features a luscious chestnut mousse encased in delicate strands of chestnut cream. Not only is it visually striking, but it’s also a dessert that lives up to its reputation for sophistication. Tarts like these are incredibly versatile and offer endless opportunities for creative decoration, making them perfect for any special occasion or festive gathering.
Next, you'll bake a Chestnut Cake—a delectable fusion of rich chocolate pound cake and chunks of chestnut, topped with a sumptuous chestnut cream. This visually impressive cake is surprisingly easy to prepare and ideal for any special event. Its buttery, nutty flavor pairs beautifully with coffee or tea and is a delight even for those who aren’t typically fans of chestnuts.
1) Mont Blanc (Chestnut Tart made of shortcrust pastry)
2) Chestnut Cake (Chocolate chestnut pound cake)
