Chestnut Tart

I saw a chestnut tart in my neighborhood bakery that looked really good, but I thought I could make it myself. I combined almond and chestnut cream for a double nutty kick.

I used Bonne Maman's creme de marron (chestnut cream). The cream is sweet, so I held back on the sugar. While baking, keep an eye on it and adjust the temperature as necessary. The tart will easily crumble while hot, so make sure to completely cool before taking out of the pan. Recipe by Yossy
