Puffs with chestnuts and honey

Puffs with chestnuts and honey are a delicious dessert that combines the lightness of choux pastry with the enveloping flavour of chestnuts and the natural sweetness of honey.

This dessert represents a perfect balance of flavours and textures: the delicate crunchiness of the puffs encloses a soft chestnut cream filling, while the honey adds a golden, aromatic note that enhances the autumnal character of the preparation. 

Ideal to end a special lunch or dinner, these cream puffs are an explosion of flavour that celebrates the simplicity of genuine ingredients transformed into a sophisticated and irresistible experience.

Perfect served with tea or a glass of sweet wine, they are a dessert that conquers at first taste.
