The only thing I change next time is that I'll use a lot less sugar than even just 1/4 cup. Probably I'll just skip the sugar, because the chestnut puree is already really sweet. Thankyou sooooo much for your post, this is an icecream recipe I will certainly treasure!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22697336.post-81218182537587540532007-01-16T05:42:00.000-05:002007-01-16T05:42:00.000-05:00I was so happy to find this recipe on your blog (w...I was so happy to find this recipe on your blog (which is great btw). I recently purchased a marron glacé ice cream which was good but very expensive, and since I love making homemade ice cream I knew I could recreate it if I could only find a good recipe. I tried yours, and it's terrific--rich and creamy, and the chestnut flavor comes through nicely. Thanks for posting it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22697336.post-1164055915875178432006-11-20T15:51:00.000-05:002006-11-20T15:51:00.000-05:00Thanks for the experiment!

I still hadn't found a recipe that highlights the flavor - but I just made this (its cooling as I write for our Thanksgiving meal) and flavor is WONDERFUL! I made a double recipe - and used 1/2 raw sugar and 1/2 brown sugar - and added about a 1/3 of a vanilla bean. <BR/><BR/>If you have access to fresh chestnuts, here's the recipe...<BR/><BR/>2 lbs chestnuts (weight while shelled)<BR/>2 cups milk<BR/>stick of butter (softened)<BR/>Simple Syrup:1 cup sugar & 1 cup h20 <BR/><BR/>Cut nuts in half, add to boiling h20 - boil 10-ish minutes (until nutmeat is tender)<BR/>Drain & shell<BR/>Mash nutmeats<BR/>Add simple syrup, butter, milk<BR/><BR/>You can add as much or as little milk as you like - thicker puree is great for filled chocolates or spreading on bread... this recipe is a bit thinner than that.<BR/><BR/>If its too chunky, you can always run it through a blender.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy and thanks for the great blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22697336.post-1152235352369684662006-07-06T21:22:00.000-04:002006-07-06T21:22:00.000-04:00Hi Chopper Dave, Riana and Julie,Thanks for vistin...Hi Chopper Dave, Riana and Julie,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for visting and for your lovely comments.
