The process of making a chocolate chestnut cake without baking:
Preparation of the chestnut cake filling:
Peel the chestnuts, including the inner shell, and boil in water until they soften, which takes about half an hour. Then heat the cream almost to boiling point and melt 150 g of edible or dark chocolate in it. Add another 3 tablespoons of rum, which goes wonderfully with chestnuts and chocolate. Mix the mass together with the chestnuts, obtaining a texture similar to a thin puree. Don't worry, the mass will harden later. Line the cake mold with aluminum foil and pour the resulting mixture into it. Place the cake in the refrigerator for a few hours or in the freezer for less time. So much that it hardens.
