Chestnut & Pecan Cream

24/11/2014

Chestnuts roasted by an open fire... or from a tin, it doesn't matter. If you have no idea what to do with them, other than roast and eat 'em. Then try this dessert. For four servings you'll need:

30g Pecans
225g Chestnut Puree
100g Caster Sugar
230g Natural Yoghurt
Some Honey !

These are a quick-turn-around treat/breakfast when friends pop by. Use ready-made pastry as life is too short to make puff-pastry, IMO. Now these aren't sweet, they're deliciously buttery with a salty undercurrent... I'll admit, t usually takes me a couple of mouthfuls to remember why I like them, but then they're moreish!! For a dozen you'll need:

2 Packets of puff pastry
170g Soft Brown Sugar (in 2x85g portions)
40g White Sugar
100g Pecans (Halves ideally)
190g Butter (160g of it softened, the other 30g will be melted)
1/2 tsp salt
