The Culinary Walk of Fabrice Mignot – The castagnaccio

Ingredients:

  • 115 g chestnut cream
  • 3 whole eggs + 2 yolks
  • 100 g semi-salted butter
  • 90 g chestnut flour
  • 50 g powdered sugar
  • 300 g icing sugar
  • 5 chestnuts au naturel (canned or vacuum-packed)
  • 50 g pine nuts
  • 2 tablespoons brown rum
  • 1/2 packet baking powder

Preparation of the recipe:

1. In a small saucepan melt the butter over low heat. In the bowl of a food processor, whisk the chestnut cream with the 2 egg yolks to obtain a smooth paste.

2. Add little by little, whisking the melted butter, sifted flour and yeast. When the dough is homogeneous, reserve it in a dish at room temperature.

3. Place a heat-resistant bowl on a barely simmering pot of water. Break the 3 eggs in the bowl and whisk with the powdered sugar to raise the mixture (at least 3 min), then pour into the bowl of a food processor and whisk again, until the mixture doubles in volume. Stir it into the chestnut paste.

4. Preheat the oven to 180° (th 6). Line the bottom of a rectangular (or missing) mold with parchment paper. Crumble the chestnuts in it. Pour the dough and bake for 30 min.

5. Dry roast pine nuts in a frying pan. In a bowl, mix the rum, 2 tablespoons of water and icing sugar.

6. Remove the cake from the oven, let it cool, then unmold it. Top with rum icing, smooth with spatula. Sprinkle with pine nuts and let the cake cool completely before enjoying it at room temperature.
