Store-bought Mont Blanc
Mont Blanc is my absolute favorite, but I have never tried making one myself.
See inside?
This one consisted of sponge(?) cake at the bottom and layers of whipping cream and chocolate sponge cake, covered with chestnut cream and topped with whipping cream, a piece of bitter chocolate and a chervil leaf. Another fluffy, not-too-sweet dessert which disappeared VERY quickly.

OH MY GOSH! That looks SO good. I have never had this 'mont blanc' before, but now I want some. Yum. :D
ReplyDeletewow! which store did you buy this from?
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of mont blanc before, but chestnut cream sounds like a not too sweet, but still tasty dessert element!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE mont blanc! I love how you can get so many different variations on it in Japan. Mmmmmm... I miss it!
ReplyDeletelooks delicious!
ReplyDeletemy wife is a Japanese pastry chef so I get all these nice Japanese pastries like mont blanc and shortcake :D
here's the traditional recipe ;)
ReplyDeletein this version , that has French origins, the preparation results a bit longer and more complicated... It's made with peeled big chestnuts, boiled with milk, vanilla and sugar and passed through a vegetable-mill.
You have to use that one with large holes, so the mashed chestnuts will fall in a "mountain" pile...and, finally, you just have to cover it with a delicious amount of "snowy" whipped cream!!!

Wow... Peeling big chestnuts must be a hard work but it must be really worth it. I can imagine. :)
