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
- 0 as desired Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- 0 as desired Crushed roasted chestnuts or chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Finely chop the dark chocolate and set it aside in a medium heatproof bowl.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Stir in the chestnut puree and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. The mixture should become thick and creamy.
Step 5
Divide the mixture evenly between four small dessert glasses, ramekins, or pots.
Step 6
Let the pots cool to room temperature, then cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Step 7
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.
