Cream of chestnuts with persimmon sauce and dark chocolate ganache: a very simple dessert, autumn, made of combinations both in flavor both of color, that I made in version finger food. Is’ a gluten-free desserts, that exploits the natural sweetness of the chestnuts and persimmons, so there is very little sugar. The doses are for single-serving spoons 12, but you can also make 4 flat cakes, obviously serving in a different way the chestnut cream. I prepared with fresh chestnuts, but you can do that too with those precooked, to the seasonality of the product. I enriched the cake with a chocolate ganache, but you can replace it with dark chocolate curls, if you prefer a greater crunchiness. Have a good day!

For persimmon sauce remove the pulp by removing any seeds and crush with a fork. Then pass through a sieve and set aside.
