Blackcurrant and chestnut verrines

Blackcurrants and chestnuts and go together really well, as the tang of the one balances the gentle sweetness of the other.

Here they are combined in a verrrine, with a blackcurrant crémeux and chestnut mousse, served with a little sablé biscuit.

Just before serving, stick a sablé biscuit into the top. Serve without delay.

Remarks

You can use a different fruit instead of blackcurrants in the crémeux, but do try to keep to something with a hint of acidity (raspberries, currants, etc.), to contrast with the chestnut flavour.

Keeping

Should be eaten the same day.
