Ann, is it me, or does that dessert look like a big ball of spaghetti?

[@HowToCookThat]

haha yes it tasted better than it looked :)

[@Bex-f4x]

Byron Chandler I totally thought this was a ball of spaghetti being dusted with cheese 😂

[@withtrees]

[@Sally0602]

Omg thanks. I live in Japan now and autumn is chestnut season. Every chocolate and sweets is made in chestnut flavor. Also Mont Blanc is a really popular desert here and is usually pretty expensive. I made my own chestnut cream recently from scratch and oh boy pealing and coring them was very tiresome but at least the end produu was very yummy. I used some vanilla essence amd white chocolate in the puree. Love your channel Ann. Xx if you could please make a DOBOS TORTE that would be amazing. It's from my country, Hungary :)

Hi I'm french and you actually pronounced "chataigne" correctly ! But in "Mont Blanc " you shouldn't pronounce the T and the C. Yes french is weird😂

Ann 😊 I absolutely loved this travel series. Your channel is always so interesting and unique. I love how you’re able to explain each and every dessert in such depth. It has really inspired me to take an interest in baking, after watching you for many years. I can always count on your channel for a wonderful mix of delicious and fun baking recipes with the science and chemistry explained behind it. Thank you for all of the hard work you put into each video and sharing your talent & experiences with us!

[@therasiathecook]

Hi, I am a portuguese pastry chef and while I was working in London we used to make this at christmas time (the hotel I was working was french) Yours is just as good great representation :)

[@HowToCookThat]

oh that's so interesting 😀 I think you must have made many 1000s of these in your life!

[@therasiathecook]

Last year I had to create one of our christmas yule logs and mine was a vanilla mousse on a chestnut base, with spiced caramel center and chestnut vermicelli ^^ Miss it now that I am back home ^_^

[@chrispi314]

Hello Ann, I'm french and your pronunciation of "chataîgne" is pretty good according to the "gne" in this word which makes it difficult for not french speakers. Other tip, we have some "mute" letters, so you don't have to pronounce the "c" in "blanc". More over, we have two words in France for chestnuts, there is "chataîgne" and "marron" (which can be also refer to the color brown) but "marron" are technically not edible. I said technically because some "marron" are the deluxe version of "chataîgne", don't remember exactly how and are fit to eat. Those "marron" are usually made for "crème de marrons" (chestnut creme) or "marrons glacés" (candied chestnut) which are usually festive products in France.

[@alexandrafallows4899]

I grew up in Northern Italy, and it’s a regional specialty in the city of Turin. We have it in the wintertime. It’s my favorite Christmas cake - excited to try making it this year since I can’t go home to celebrate

Love the French chestnut desserts! We spend a few weeks every summer in Quebec City, and grow pretty fat on them ...

[@HowToCookThat]

yes i think French cooking is delicious but not good when you're trying to stick to a diet 😁

[@fedupwithusernames]

I've never heard of this dessert despite having been to France and Italy multiple times, but where I live, chestnut desserts are also popular in the colder seasons. :)

you'll have to try it next time you're in Paris ... it's very tasty 😊

[@talnev.7894]

What if you are elergic to nuts (im not but im asking for those who are)? is there a different ingredient they can use instead?

[@HowToCookThat]

hmmm not sure this is the dessert for them ... they could try last week's desert which was a Lemon Delicious :D

[@rcrdtlo]

The Italian version is a bit different, no sponge cake at the bottom and often no meringue either. Chestnuts are boiled and then peeled (a long process) boiled again with milk and vanilla, strained to eliminate the milk and mashed with rum and cocoa. Then, if you like, some whipped cream, the chestnuts as Ann did and decorate with whipped cream as snow on the mountain. You can do it in a individual cups and eat with a spoon.

[@bigeye7480]

I weirdly really love that pastel pink kitchen aid with that blue wall... Very pleasing to the eye

[@shellyliang]

you always put so much effort and care into all of your videos! I love how you taught us the history of the dessert ❤❤❤

[@FaultAndDakranon]

The one I had in Australia was filled with a chestnut cream and had a short crust base. May be not so authentic, but delicious.

[@LisaMariaGravity]

[@morp2098]

Lisa Maria Stefan true, in Angelina it’s just a disc of meringue, whipped cream and sweetened chestnut purée. No cake, no egg yolks.

In Sweden we call chestnuts for "Kastanjer". And I actually didn't know that you could eat or bake so much stuff with them! The only thing I've heard about before, was that you could boil them and then eat them. But here in Sweden we don't eat chestnuts. So it's fun to see how you can bake with them and how other countries use them😊 great video, you're awesome💖

[@esztercsaki1]

I’ve learned so much about making desserts from you . I feel like almost every European country has a version of this dessert and although I appreciate the artistry, I really do feel like this french version is unnecessarily heavy and complicated . We have a really simple chestnut purée where I come from and it’s super rustic and best when it is home made . Just roasted, roughly pureed chestnuts ( in that metal grinder your everyone’s grandma has ) , sugar and rum in a glass, topped with whipped cream , some sort of biscotti and chocolate shavings

[@maplehockeylove6339]

Mont Blanc is actually one of my favorite desserts, thank you for making this!

[@marikahackmanfan7514]

I don’t know why your videos aren’t getting more views. I love this series!

[@HowToCookThat]

yes it's very frustrating ... it's not that real people don't like the videos ... it's that KZbin only recommends channels that upload videos EVERY day (this is why all the Russian-owned life-hack channels like Troom Troom & 5-minute crafts get so many views). It's a bit sad for genuine creators.

[@zaynabkarima7000]

Bravo Ann, your pronouciation is nearly ok, just un little detail for "Mont blanc" you must not pronounce the "t" of Mont and the "c" of blanc and this is perfect, same goes for "chataigne" the final "e" il nearly silent. I love your channel and recipes, thank you for sharing all your skills and hope you had a very nice time in France. Love Brigitte from a very small village in Dordogne, Agonac, near Périgueux. :)

I was in Paris last week and tried the dessert after this video. It is really delicious and more different than i tought it would be. Thank you Ann!

[@jeannemercierdelepinay8119]

Where I live in Alsace (France) we call that "Torche aux Marrons" (literally Chestnut Torch, coming from its shape I guess). Type that in Google Image and drool!! I know this dessert may be known as "Mont Blanc" in Paris or "Monte Bianco" in Italy but you don't really find them in that many bakeries... However I've been living in Alsace the past few years and you find this dessert in literally all bakeries, especially during cold seasons because 1-that's when chestnuts grow 2-you need the sugar and fat to prepare for the cold cold winter (much colder than in Corsica where chestnut is so popular otherwise)! I've been living in many different parts of France and I only discovered that is Alsace, so even if it does not originate from there, you could say it is a specialty ! For those who don't know, Alsace is the eastern region from France very close to Germany. Actually many food specialties from this region are common to western Germany, any insights from a German fellow? :)

We also have chestnut cream in Hungary which is very similar to what can be seen in the video. One of our most popular Hungarian sweets is chestnut puree which can be found everywhere all year round and can be bought in every grocery store. I grew up with it. I love it so much, and so do my four children, although I no longer live in Hungary (seince 26 years) we still make this dessert and many others also, make it with chestnut cream. It's just delicious.
