Castagnaccio with fruit

Castagnaccio with fruit is a traditional dessert that celebrates the authentic flavours of autumn, combining the natural sweetness of chestnuts with the freshness of seasonal fruit. 

This rustic cake, made with chestnut flour, is characterised by its moist and soft texture, which perfectly complements the fruity notes. 

Often enriched with walnuts, rosemary and sultanas, castagnaccio becomes even more delicious with the addition of slices of fresh fruit, such as pears or apples, which enhance its sweetness and fragrance. 

This dessert is ideal for serving at the end of a meal, perhaps accompanied by some whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, creating a delicious contrast of temperatures and textures. 

Simple but rich in flavour, castagnaccio with fruit is a perfect way to bring the tradition and authentic flavours of autumn to the table, turning every bite into an experience of pure pleasure.
