I really like this dessert! It's a little sweet and a little bitter from the chestnuts by overall very delicious.

I am a professional Chef for a five star restaurant, and this was the best nut dessert I have ever had. I introduced it to the owner of the restaurant I work at and now we make it their. It’s our best seller. Absolutely delicious!
