A classic and comforting dessert, Kesten Pire is the perfect way to enjoy chestnuts' natural sweetness. Creamy, rich, and utterly satisfying, it’s ideal for cozy nights or festive occasions!
Ingredients:
- 1 kg chestnuts (a few might not be perfect, so keep that in mind)
- 500 ml milk
- 2 packets of vanilla sugar
- 2/3 tablespoon sugar (adjust to taste)
- Optional: Rum essence for extra depth
- Sweet whipped cream (for topping)
Instructions:
- Prep the chestnuts: Score each chestnut with a cross (for easier peeling). Boil for 20–30 minutes, peel while hot, and mash.
- Cook the purée: In a pot, combine mashed chestnuts, milk, vanilla sugar, and regular sugar (plus rum essence if using). Simmer until the chestnuts absorb the milk. If too thick, add more milk; if too thin, continue cooking while stirring to avoid sticking.
- Serve with style: Divide into cups or bowls and top with freshly whipped cream.
Serving Idea: Garnish with chocolate shavings or a drizzle of caramel for an indulgent twist. This recipe yields about 4 generous servings.
Perfect for chestnut season—your taste buds will thank you! 🌰
