Ingredients




Meringues (quantity varies depending on the size of meringue you buy)
250 grams Chestnut purée 
250 grams Mascarpone cheese
250 mls Cream
2 teaspoons Sugar
2 eggs

Preparation

1 In the bowl of the stand-mixer, whisk gently the 2 yolks with the mascarpone cheese. 2 Then  fold the chestnut purée until combined. 3 In another bowl, whisk the 2 whites to medium stiff peaks. Fold delicately to the mascarpone/chestnut mixture. Refrigerate for 2/3 hours. 4 Cut the meringues (with a knife) into not so small pieces. 5 Put in the glasses where you will serve the dessert. 6 Not too long before serving (otherwise the meringue will absorb the mousse and will "disappear"), pipe or spoon  the mousse on the meringue pieces. 7 Make the whipped cream (with the cream and sugar) using a mixer,(personally I prefer to use an espuma siphon...if you use the siphon, prepare this one night in advance!) 8 Just before serving, pipe the whipped cream and use one marron glacé as decoration. (if you can't get marrons, or they are too expensive, use a chocolate, or a chocolate truffle
