Growing up, my mom would bring me to this french bake shop where I would always order the same thing, a crêpe à la crème de marron.
It’s a crepe filled with a candied chestnut spread and oh so good! This crème de marron is not easily found in kosher and can only be purchased in specialty stores. It can be used in so many different ways; crepes (obviously lol), a doughnut filling would also be so delish, or in a mini nougatine bowl for a more refined dessert (as shown in the picture).
So I needed to come up with a way of recreating this outrageous spread. The process of candying the chestnuts is long and takes days so I took a shortcut and was really pleased with the end result. Here’s my recipe. Hope you like it!
