from "Grand Finales" by Vogue Australia:
Bring the cream and milk to the boil in a saucepan. Beat the egg yolks with
the sugar. Pour some of the heated cream and milk onto the eggs and whisk.
Pour mixture back into the remaining heated cream. Cook over a low heat,
stirring constantly, until the custard coats the back of a spoon. Strain
into a bowl and leave to cool. Add the chestnut puree and beat it well into
the custard. Flavour to taste with vanilla or a little rum. Chill in the
refrigerator for 1-2 hours. Freeze in an ice-cream maker (or use th old
method of beating it every half hour several times). Serve garnished with
chopped marron glace. Serves 8.
My note: Chestnuts go well with chocolate; serve this with chocolate sauce
and some chocolate curls to decorate too; superb for a special occasion.
Also go easy on the rum, freezing intensifies the flavours and alcohol is
an anti-freeze, a little goes a long way, 2 tablespoons should be more than
enough.
