Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add the roasted and peeled chestnuts to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, and blend until the chestnuts are a fine powder, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the water and honey and blend until the chestnuts are a paste-like consistency. This typically takes about 30 more seconds, but could take longer.  It will likely all gather to one place in the food processor. (If it doesn't seem to be coming together, add more water, bit by bit.
