Sweet Chestnut Croquettes

For sweet chestnut croquettes, boil chestnuts in water for 20 minutes until soft, strain and puree.

Mix milk with orange and lemon zest, breadcrumbs, sugar and vanilla pulp in a bowl, heat slowly and then mix in the chestnut puree.

Beat one egg, whisk and stir into the chestnut mixture.

Using a piping bag, pipe 3 cm long bars and let them cool. Form croquettes or alternatively walnut-sized balls from the sticks with wet hands.

Whisk the second egg as well and add salt.

Dip croquettes into it, turn in sponge crumbs and fry in hot oil at 180 °C.

Remove the finished croquettes from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen roll.

Sprinkle sweet chestnut croquettes with granulated sugar before serving.

Preparation Tip:

Sweet chestnut croquettes go well with a fruit salad, ice cream or simply served with a berry sauce!
