Recipe

Dissolve a small amount of salt in water, add the chestnuts, and soak for about 1 hour until softened.
Using a knife, make a deep straight cut on the top of the soaked chestnuts.
Place the chestnuts in an air fryer preheated to 190°C and roast for 30 minutes. Once golden brown, peel the skins off the roasted chestnuts.
Put the peeled roasted chestnuts, sugar, and milk into a blender and blend until smooth with no visible particles.
Transfer the ground chestnut mixture to a pan and stir well with a spatula over low heat until thickened to finish the chestnut spread.
Layer the finished chestnut spread in a glass as desired, then add ice, milk, and a shot of espresso in order to complete the chestnut latte.

Soak chestnuts in salted water for 1 hour, score them, then roast in an air fryer at 190°C for 30 minutes and peel.
Blend roasted chestnuts, sugar, and milk in a blender, then simmer in a pan, stirring until thickened to make the spread.
Generously add chestnut spread to a cup, then pour in ice, milk, and espresso to enjoy as a drink.

Cooking tips

Soaking chestnuts in salted water beforehand softens the hard shells, making it easier to score and separate the kernels cleanly.
When reducing the chestnut spread in the pan, the bottom can burn easily, so it requires care to stir constantly over low heat.
The finished chestnut spread can be placed in a piping bag and piped generously over whipped cream and castella cake to create an easy Mont Blanc cake variation.
