Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound roasted and peeled chestnuts
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon honey if desired
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 1½ to 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.)
Notes
Roasting and peeling the chestnuts takes about 45 minutes. Here's how.
The honey is optional, but I think it adds the perfect amount of sweetness.
Makes about 1½ cups.
