Time 30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup milk, or more as needed
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups roasted and peeled chestnuts
½ cup honey

Steps:

  • Mix milk, cocoa powder, sugar, and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer. Add chestnuts; cook until chestnuts soften and milk has reduced by a little more than half, about 10 minutes.
  • Carefully pour milk mixture into a blender. Cover and hold lid down with a potholder; blend until smooth. Add extra milk, a few tablespoons at a time, if mixture isn't blending well. Avoid adding too much milk as the spread should be thick.
  • Add honey and continue to blend until smooth. Transfer to small jars and let cool. Serve immediately or seal jars and store in the refrigerator.
