STEEMIT CULINARY CHALLENGE #43: Yokan with chestnuts and chocolate. (Sweet)

Hello Steemit!

I made yokan for the sweet challenge ^^

I made this one time before, but the version with a lot of water.
If you are interested (:
This time I made a thicker yokan with some autumn feeling thanks to the combination of chestnuts, chocolate and red bean paste. Although this is a summer snack in Japan.. ^^
Anyway, let me show you guys the recipe;

Ingredients;

• Red bean paste
• Sugar
• Agar agar
• Water
• Chocolate
• Chestnuts
  
  

Instructions;

Step 1; Red bean paste.

• Soak the beans overnight.
• Cook the beans about one hour in boiled water.
  
• Squeeze one azuki bean with your fingers, if it is smushed, it’s done.
  
• Turn up the heat to high and add sugar. Stir constantly.
  
• Once the sugar dissolves turn the heat off. The paste will thicken more when it cools.
  
  

Step 2; Agar agar.

• Boil some water.
  
• Once boiling add some agar agar.
  
  

Step 3; Chocolate and mixing.

• Once the agar agar is dissolved add the chocolate.
  
• Once the chocolate is dissolved add the red bean paste.
  
  
• Once red bean paste has completely dissolved remove from the heat to let it cool a bit for 1 minute.
• Pour mixture into mold.
  

Step 4; chestnuts.

• The last step is really easy, after pouring just add the chestnuts.
  
  

That's it! Just let it in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
Once it's done cut it in pieces and enjoy!

Hope you guys enjoyed my recipe ^^
