Cupcakes "Mont Blanc" Recipe
I saw this recipe a long time ago. After reading it, I realized that I would not cook it in the original version, because I do not have chestnut paste, and I have never eaten these chestnuts! But the thought was deep. Having stumbled upon a variant of this dessert again, I realized: it's time to cook. There was no pasta, but I cooked it myself, boiled chestnuts, mashed potatoes, added cream syrup with sugar and butter. That's it, that's it.

Cook Time 60 minutes
Ingredients
Dough:
- 2 pieces Egg white
- 60 gram Sugar
- 2 pieces Egg yolk
- 50 gram Flour wheat / Flour
- 35 gram Milk
- 15 ml Vegetable oil
- 10 gram Cocoa powder
- 1 pinch Salt
Cream:
- 50 gram Mascarpone
- 12 gram Sugar
- 100 ml Cream (33%)
Chestnut cap:
- 240 gram Chestnut puree
- 100 ml Cream (33%)
- 1 teaspoon Extract (vanilla)
Instructions
- Whisk the whites with sugar.
- Add the yolks and whisk again. The mass will turn out very lush!
- Add the sifted flour and mix gently with a spatula.
- Mix milk with vegetable oil and cocoa.
- Mix the main dough with the milk-vegetable mixture. I recommend taking a little of the bulk and mixing it with the cocoa mixture, and then putting it all into the dough. Mix gently.
- Put the paper cupcake capsules in a mold, pour the dough, not reaching the edge by about 5 mm.
- Bake at a temperature of about 20 minutes at 170 degrees.
- Whisk all the cream and divide into 2 parts: dip one in chestnut paste, the other in cream.
- For the buttercream, mix mascarpone with sugar.
- Whisk together the mascarpone and half of the whipped cream.
- For the chestnut cream, mix the chestnut paste (sweet chestnut puree), vanilla extract and the second part of the cream.
- Pull the finished muffins out of the middle.
- Pour the cupcakes with buttercream. I added more pieces of soft toffee (options: boiled chestnut, dates, pieces of chocolate, etc.). Make a "slide" on top
- Apply chestnut cream on top of everything. You can decorate the top of this "mountain" (I used toffee) with boiled chestnut.
- Powdered sugar will give a light snowball.
- The most delicate crumbs of cupcakes, cream and chestnut glaze in combination with inclusions of delicate iris and delicious sweets are truly a festive treat!
