Stage 1 - 3 min.
Pour 250 g sweet chestnut purée (crème de marrons) and 250 g Mascarpone into a small bowl.
Stage 3 - 5 min.

Take 1/4 of the egg whites and pour over the mascarpone + chestnut cream mixture.
Stage 5 - 2 min.
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.

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.

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.
