CREMES BRULEES WITH CHESTNUTS
Serves 4
No defreeze
Preparation: 10 min.
Cooking Time: 1 hour.
From Picard's:
200 g chestnuts

From your local deli or supermarket:
20cl orange juice
30 cl double cream
50 g sugar
4 tablespoons Demerara sugar

  CR�MES BR�L�ES WITH CHESTNUTS by Picard
Pre-heat oven to 150oC (th. 5) and place some water in the cooking tray to prepare the Bain Marie.
Place the chestnuts in a saucepan, sprinkle with 20g of sugar and pour over orange juice (the chestnuts must be almost entirely covered). Cook gently for 10mn. Meanwhile, slowly bring the cream and the vanilla to the boil. Whisk the yolks and the sugar together until the mix becomes white. Add the vanilla cream to the mix by pouring it very slowly and stopping and mix at the same time with a wooden spoon. Drain the chestnuts and break them roughly between your fingers. Divide the chestnuts and the cream between 4 ramekin dishes and cook for 40mn. Let them cool down and place in the fridge for 1 hour. Switch the oven grill on, sprinkle with Demerara sugar and place under the grill until golden brown (approx. 3 mn).
Our wine advice: Amber Rivesaltes
