This sounds strange but is truly delicious. Another of my grandmother's recipes. I've never come across a similar one. Ingredients:
1 3/4 lb chestnuts |
2 whole cloves |
1 1/4 cup of fructose |
3 eggs (separated) |
for the garnish : 2 spoonfuls of cocoa powder |
Directions:
1. NOTCH THE CHESTNUTS WITH A KNIFE, PUT THEM INTO A SAUCEPAN WITH WATER.
2. ADD THE CLOVES AND BOIL THEM ON MEDIUM FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES .
3. WHEN READY, PEEL THEM AND GRIND THEM WELL INTO A PASTE.
4. THEN, WHISK THE EGG YOLKS TOGETHER WITH THE FRUCTOSE UNTIL THEY GET WHITE AND MIX THEM WITH THE CHESTNUT PASTE.
5. AFTER THAT, WHISK THE EGG WHITES INTO A MERINGUE.
6. ADD THE MERINGUE INTO THE CHESTNUT PASTE STIRRING GENTLY,
7. BUTTER A PYREX PIE PLATE AND EMPTY THE CHESTNUT MIXTURE INTO IT.
8. FINALLY, BAKE THE PUDDING FOR ABOUT 45 MINS, AT 325.
9. LET IT COOL AND SIFT THE COCOA POWDER OVER IT AND SERVE.
