Instructions
1
Prep the ingredients
Break the chestnut kernels into small bite-sized pieces. Chop the dark chocolate into rough chunks—this helps it blend more evenly and prevents clumping.
2
Add base ingredients to blender
Place the chestnuts, oats, water, chocolate chunks, sugar, and salt into the blender carafe. Make sure the liquid stays below the 900ml hot beverage line. Do NOT add the milk yet.
3
Run soy milk cycle
Select the soy milk or hot beverage program on your blender. This will heat and blend the mixture automatically, creating a smooth consistency without sticking to the bottom.
4
Finish with milk
Once the cycle finishes, turn off the blender and carefully open the lid to let steam escape. Pour in the cold milk, then use the pulse or blend function for 10–20 seconds to incorporate everything. Serve immediately—no additional heating needed.
