Montebianco is an iconic dessert in Italian confectionery traditions, which embodies the essence of autumn and winter.
This delicious dessert is made of a soft layer of chestnut puree, enriched with a sweet cream of whipped cream and garnished with a generous layer of dark chocolate.
Its preparation evokes memories of snow-capped mountains and warm evenings spent in company, while its enveloping flavor and creamy consistency make it a true comfort food.
Perfect for special occasions, Montebianco is a sensory experience that celebrates the sweetness of chestnuts, bringing a touch of elegance and tradition to the table.
Boil the marrons with the rosemary, peel them and place them in a saucepan with the sugar, vanilla, and half a glass of milk.
Cook them for a quarter of an hour until the liquid has dried and pass them through a potato masher, collecting the puree and forming a cone on a dessert plate.
Densely whip the cream and when the chestnuts are very cold, spoon the cream onto the chestnut mound, decorate the base with the marrons glacé and serve.
