Ingredients:

For the base:

  • 200g plant-based butter
  • 70g powdered sugar
  • 300g flour
  • 1 vanilla bean

Beat the plant-based butter with the powdered sugar until fluffy. Then add the flour and vanilla slowly, creating a soft and fluffy dough. Bake for 20-30 minutes in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius.

For the cream:

  • 200g semolina
  • 100g orange juice
  • 700g water
  • 180g sugar
  • zest of an orange
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1 cinnamon stick

In a small saucepan, bring the water, orange juice, sugar, and cinnamon stick to a boil. Once it boils, add the semolina and stir quickly.

For the chestnut cream:

  • 450g fresh chestnuts
  • 260g water
  • 40g Cuma fig syrup
  • 1 cinnamon stick

Directions

Cut a cross into the chestnuts. In a small saucepan, boil the chestnuts in water for 10 minutes. Then remove the chestnuts from the water and peel them, removing the thin skin inside. Cut the chestnuts into small pieces and cook them with the cinnamon stick until soft, about 10 more minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick, add the fig syrup, and puree the chestnuts with a hand blender.

Assembly:

Once the base is baked, let it cool slightly and then spread the semolina cream on top. Chill in the refrigerator. Once it is chilled, spread the chestnut cream on top and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
