Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Using a sharp knife, make a small cross-cut on the flat side of each chestnut shell to prevent them from bursting during roasting.
  2. 2. Place the chestnuts on a baking tray and roast them in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the shells start to peel away and the chestnuts are golden and fragrant.
  3. 3. While the chestnuts roast, prepare the cinnamon cream. In a mixing bowl, combine double cream, icing sugar, cinnamon powder, and vanilla extract. Whisk until soft peaks form, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
  4. 4. Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. 5. Once the chestnuts are roasted, let them cool slightly and peel off the shells. Arrange the peeled chestnuts on a serving plate.
  6. 6. Drizzle the roasted chestnuts with honey, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt, and pour the melted dark chocolate over them. Serve alongside the chilled cinnamon cream for dipping or topping.
