The mille crepe looks soo good! Can you make the cream without the chestnut?

Chestnuts are a very special ingredient. I’m growing some different varieties, none of which are producing yet. I love the trees, majestic and robust. And your recipe is my first to be tucked away until the first nut is picked.

This reminds me of a dish we learned at Le Cordon Bleu, except there the crepes were layered with pastry cream….it was awesome. Your variation looks fabulous and got my vote in the Bon Appetit competition. Good Luck!

I’ve been making crepes most of my life and I’ve seen this classic recipe before. Now I know what to do with my leftover jar of chesnuts. Thanks!!!! Gorgeous little brush of syrup.

Lady M is my favorite bakery in town. I’ve been meaning to make one of these, but you’ve really upped the stakes by adding crème de marron. We never did get you to taste the Japanese version of Mont Blanc. Anyway you have my vote:-)

i guess i take your word for it that it’s “easier than it seems to make”… i friggin hate making desserts. this does look hard but reading the recipe does make it seem do-able. it really is beautiful though. really, really pretty.

considering that most of the crepes cooked in my household are between the hours of 1-3 a.m., after excessive wine consumption, and half of them end on the floor from excessive flipping, this may be outside my capacity. awesome idea, though.

Great looking cake! I am particularly intrigued by chestnut cream. Sounds so good to me!
