I received a lot of chestnuts so I came up with ways to use them up. This chestnut cream is simmered in milk, so it has a gentle flavour.

If you simmer it well, it will have a firm finish. Depending on how you intend to use it, soften it with milk or heavy cream. Recipe by kazz72

Steps

1

Wash the chestnuts, pour in enough water to cover them and cook them for 8-12 minutes in a pressure cooker.
2

When the pressure has dropped, drain them in a sieve and spoon out the insides.
3

Place all the ingredients except for the rum in a saucepan and mash the chestnuts as they simmer (simmer well until the water has evaporated).
4

When it has cooled down, put the mixture in a food processor, and add the rum for the aroma and blend.
5

Pour it into a sterilized container and it's done.
6

Note: It has a lot of water but it is low in sugar, so it won't keep for very long. Refrigerate the amount you wish to use and freeze the rest.
7

It's nice as a bread filling.
