Step by step recipe

• 1: Pour 250 g sweet chestnut purée (crème de marrons) and 250 g Mascarpone into a small bowl.
• 2: Whisk until smooth.
  Set aside.
• 3: Pour 3 egg whites into another bowl and beat until stiff, adding 2 tablespoons caster sugar at the end.
• 4: Take 1/4 of the egg whites and pour over the mascarpone + chestnut cream mixture.
• 5: Mix gently with a whisk, but don't be too insistent. Just aerate the mixture slightly to make it easier to incorporate the beaten egg whites.
• 6: Take half the remaining egg whites and pour over the previously aerated mascarpone + chestnut cream mixture.
  Fold in very gently, this time with a spatula, following these instructions.
• 7: Do the same with the other half of the egg whites, until you obtain a fine mousse.
• 8: Divide between glasses or ramekins. If possible, use a piping bag with a fluted tip for a more attractive effect.
• 9: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Remarks

If you prefer a lighter mousse, use 4 egg whites instead of 3.
For a little pep, you can add a dash of whisky, or other alcohol, to the mascarpone + chestnut cream mixture.
