As some of you already know, about ten days ago, we spent a few days from our parents, in the province of Naples and the beautiful day and having a great time, we went for a walk in Montella, Avellino, to collect a little chestnut ................. we have not found a good big as other years ..... but we found !
some pictures of beautiful chestnut ........
that are soft!
Returning to the sweet ............. how to resist the temptation to make one of my favorite cake ???!!!
And then as soon as I returned home, as my dear mother had given me of boiled chestnuts and blend, I started work immediately and I made, always with the special recipe of her mother, a tart chestnut ..... alas .... we devoured in 2 days !!!!!
Ingredients for the pastry with chocolate:
500 g of flour 3 egg yolks + 1 whole egg
250 g sugar 250 g butter 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
Ingredients for filling:
800 g of boiled chestnuts and blend
200 g sugar 200 ml milk 60 g butter
3-4 eggs 200 g amaretti
200 g of dark chocolate
2 cups of rum
a little pinch of cinnamon 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
procedure.
For the pastry, place the flour in the center of the eggs, sugar, butter and cocoa; work with patience all the ingredients until the dough is very hard and put it to rest a bit in the fridge.
For the filling, since not all will be as lucky as me to get the chestnuts prepared by her mother, peel the chestnuts and place them in a pot with a bit 'of salt water and blankets.
Boil for about 1 hour, turn off, let cool slightly and remove the skins; Puree.
At this point, melt the chocolate in milk
add the chestnuts past
and all the other ingredients, mix well and let cool.
helping with baking paper roll out the pastry into the pan and add the cooled cream now.
Cover with another layer of pastry.
Bake at 180 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes.
Turn off the oven and let cool.
Before serving, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
