Ingredients

  • 2 pounds fresh chestnuts in shells 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt 3 1/2 cups milk 1 cup confectioners’ sugar 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 vanilla bean, scraped 3 tablespoons light rum 1 quart heavy cream 1/4 cup cocoa powder, for dusting

Directions

Using a small paring knife, cut an X into one side of each chestnut. Fill a saucepan with water; add chestnuts and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Remove 2 or 3 at a time from water; remove the outer shells. Peel and scrape off inner skins.

Combine nuts, milk, 3/4 cup sugar, butter, and vanilla bean and scrapings in a saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until tender and falling apart, 30 to 35 minutes. Drain, reserving milk. Remove vanilla bean; set nuts aside to cool.

Pass chestnuts through a food mill into a bowl. Stir in rum and 5 to 6 tablespoons of the reserved milk until well combined. Place 1/3 cup of chestnut mixture in a potato ricer fitted with large hole blade. Press and squeeze strands of the mixture into bowls. It should look like a small mound of spaghetti. Repeat with remaining mixture.

Whip cream with remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe out cream covering the exposed surface. Dust with cocoa, and serve.
