By Merchant Gourmet Cook, Alex Mackay

Ingredients

180g pouch Merchant Gourmet Simply Roasted Chestnuts
400ml almond other other non-dairy milk
50g aquafaba / chickpea water
80g caster sugar
The scraped seeds from one vanilla pod or 2 tsp good quality vanilla extract
Rum or Brandy, optional and up to you how much

Preparation

Blend all the ingredients together until totally smooth. Some bullet-blenders should only be used on full blast for 2 minutes at a time, if this is yours, blend, then give the blender a little rest, then go again, so you don’t explode the motor.
If you fancy it, add the rum or brandy to taste. The chestnut custard can be served cold or hot.

Serves 6, 10 minutes
