I made a lot of chestnut syrup, so I decided to try putting it into a cheesecake.

The batter also has ground up chestnuts, but I think that 130 g results in too weak of a taste, so I think at least 150 g is best.
Add chestnut syrup and rum to taste for more flavor.
It's lightly sweet, so adjust the amount of sugar to taste. Recipe by Rinkachan

Steps

1

Base: Chop the biscuits in a food processor, add the melted butter, and mix together. Press into the tart pan.
2

Batter: First, put the heavy cream, peeled sweet chestnuts, sugar, eggs, and rum into a food processor and mix.
3

Next, add the cream cheese and flour into the food processor and mix. ※It will be thick and hard to mix, but try your best to thoroughly combine all the ingredients.
4

Put your desired amount of simmered chestnuts in the bottom of the pan. Rather than putting them right up to the edge, it looks nicer if you leave a little space.
5

Slowly pour the batter on top of the chestnuts. Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C for 30 minutes, then reduce to 160°C and bake for 20 more minutes to finish.
6

Once cooled, remove from the pan and wrap with plastic wrap. If you let it sit in the refrigerator overnight, the flavors will settle, making the cake even more delicious.
7

Sweet chestnuts: This time, I used 130 g of sweet chestnuts, but the flavor of the chestnuts are a bit weak, so if you want to have a richer taste, I recommend you add more.
