Marron Custard

I wanted to make custard cream using seasonal sweet chestnuts.

This cream hardens when cooled, so stop microwaving while you think it still needs a bit more cooking.
You can also make this in a sauce pan.
I used sweet chestnut paste, but you can use leftover kuri kinton from your New Year's osechi. Or be more bold and use different kinds of red bean paste instead. Recipe by Makunouchi. (Yields about 300 g of custard cream)
