Ingredients

chestnut puree (natural) 500 g

granulated sugar 125 g

eggs (yolks and whites separated) 3

salted butter (plus 20 g for greasing the mold) 100 g

salt a pinch

vanilla extract 2 tsp

Instructions

Beat the egg whites

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Add the salt to the egg whites and beat with an electric mixer until very stiff.

Step 2

Gently melt the butter in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan.

Make the chestnut mixture

In a large bowl, combine the chestnut puree, egg yolks, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Combine and bake

Using a spatula, gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chestnut mixture, taking care not to deflate the air bubbles. Grease a Charlotte mold and pour in the batter, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Bake at 180°C for about 30 minutes. Let cool before unmolding.
