Preparation

• Let’s see how to prepare Mont Blanc in a cup.

  Boil the chestnuts for 10 minutes in a small pot of water, then peel them, removing the inner skin too. In a saucepan, put the peeled chestnuts, cover them with vegetable milk at least 1 inch above, and cook them over low heat for about 1 hour… the cooking time also depends on the size of the chestnuts, it is advisable to test with a fork if they are cooked.

  When they are almost cooked, add the sugar and vanillin and cook for another 10 minutes.

  Pass the chestnuts through the food mill, adding a little cooking milk until it becomes smooth and creamy, then add the cocoa, mixing well.

  Meanwhile, whip the cream and set aside.

  Put the prepared chestnut cream in a piping bag and arrange it in the cups trying to make a mountain, you can do it in layers as I did, one layer of chestnut cream and one of cream, or alternatively you can make a single mountain of cream… covered with whipped cream. Before serving, sprinkle with cocoa.
