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. |
