This is a variation recipe using boiled chestnuts.

I cut down on the sugar, but feel free to add more if you prefer.
You can substitute heavy cream with milk! It'll result in a light chestnut paste.
If you don't have a food processor, strain the mixture, or mix in a blender with some liquid to make it smooth. Recipe by Panko625
