Chestnut Ice Cream Recipe
If you think chestnuts are only for roasting on an open fire then you are in for a big surprise! This amazing Chestnut Ice Cream Recipe has a delicate nutty flavor and is made with chunks of marron glace (candied chestnuts) perfect for a fancy summer dessert.
With only 5 ingredients, all you need is a mixer and a freezer, no ice cream machine required. Every creamy spoonful of this Chestnut Ice Cream Recipe will transport you back to France. I added a bit of rum extract to highlight the soft and delicate flavor of the chestnuts.
On December I made a Chestnut Meringue cake using a few can of pureed chestnuts my friend Adriana has given to me. I loved the flavor so much that I wanted to make something different and exotic for the summer. This ice cream hit it out of the park in terms of flavors and texture.
You can purchase chestnut puree online or a specialty gourmet store. I found mine in a Russian store here in Miami. Marron glace is easy to make at home or you can also purchase it on Amazon if you can’t find fresh chestnuts or you’re strapped for time.
Ever since summer has arrived I am so excited to make ice cream at home. Since I don’t need a special ice cream machine to churn a delicious and creamy concoction, it leaves me with so many choices and ideas of different flavors.
I hope you can try this delicious Chestnut Ice Cream Recipe at home. If you do, please upload a pic on Instagram and tag me @Livingsweetmoments or use the hashtag #LivingSweet. I promise to repost it.
