Chestnut Pie with dark chocolate by @mariandavp
We were out of sweets tonight so I thought of making a pie for the whole family. I would have made the classic apple pie, but I had a lot of chestnuts - ** and we just love chestnuts** in my house, so I made a sweet chestnut pie.
For the chestnut cream;
I boiled and peeled the chestnuts (around 500gr, maybe a bit less), for ease you can buy ready made.
I boiled 1.5 cup of sugar in 400ml of water, and also added vanilla extract.
After the syrup had boiled, I placed the chestnuts in and let them boil for 15 minutes.
Then I made a puree in the mixer.
For the pie;
2 cups of flour (for all uses)
4 spoons of sugar
2/3 of a cup margarine or butter
1 egg and a little bit of salt
That's easy you just mix all of the above until you make a tight dough. You use 2/3 of it to spread it on your pan and leave 1/3 for the cover.
The compilation!
I placed the chestnut cream over the dough in the pan. I poured some almond syrup over the chestnut cream, and then the rest of the dough in the form of macaroni. I placed in the oven for 50 minutes. Then I put the dark chocolate topping and put it back for another 5-10 minutes. And.....
I served with peanut ice cream.
READY!
