Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 2 min.

Put 100 g liquid cream and 100 g sweet chestnut purée (crème de marrons) (both cold from the fridge) in a bowl.

Stage 2 - 2 min.

Mix thoroughly with a whisk.

Stage 3 - 4 min.

Pour the mixture into your whipper through a fine strainer.

You will probably need to push the last bit through with a spoon.

Stage 5 - 1 min.

Close the whipper, pierce a gas canister and shake vigorously.

It you are not going to use it immediately, refrigerate until needed.

Stage 6

This mousse is superb: smooth and light, straight from the whipper.

Remarks

It is important to strain the mixture in stage 3 to avoid blocking the whipper siphon, so do take care at this stage.

Keeping: Several days in the fridge, in the whipper.
