  2. 2

    Make the almond cream. Add the sugar to the butter and mix well together. Add the egg and mix well. Be careful not to introduce any air.

  3. 3

    Sift the almond powder and cocoa powder together, and mix in to the butter-sugar-egg mix.

  4. 4

    Add some brandy to finish. The almond cream is done.

  5. 5

    Cut the pastry dough into portions.

  6. 6

    Roll out each piece of dough into a circle to fit the molds. (If you sandwich the dough between sheets of plastic wrap, you won't need any flour for dusting.)

  7. 7

    ■I rolled the pastry dough into cylinders as they are easier for me to handle, but you can roll the dough out thinly and cut it out instead.

  8. 8

    Pierce the bottoms of the pastry shells several times with a fork. Optionally add some chopped up chocolate.

  9. 9

    Add the cream from step 4 into the pastry shells evenly. Put a chestnut that has been wiped dry in the center of each pie.

  10. 10

    I used very large chestnuts, so I cut them in half. The number of chestnuts you need will depend on their size.

  11. 11

    Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in a preheated 200°C oven.

  12. 12

    The pies are baked. The room will be filled with a wondeful nutty fragrance.

  13. 13

    Optionally dust with powdered sugar to dress them up.

  14. 14

    When you bite into a pie, a big chestnut will be revealed. It's crispy and crumbly and densely chestnut-y heaven.
