Chestnut creams, as well as being able to be used as jams spread on bread or biscuits, can be used to fill desserts, tarts and biscuits or, by adding milk or liquid cream, excellent syrups can be obtained to garnish ice creams, panne cotta or Bavarians, perhaps with the addition of chocolate chips and pine nuts and chopped walnuts or chopped almonds and hazelnuts, or orange peel, depending on the type of cream used.
