Chestnut-Hazelnut Tarts

The origin of this dessert is Tarte Vaudoise, a traditional European pastry. I’ve replaced the original heavy cream with crème fraîche and added different nut textures. It may look simple on the plate, but it’s complex in flavor.

Cooks' Note

Clément Faugier chestnut puree is available at specialty and gourmet markets and online from Amazon.
Commercial crystallized chestnuts, marrons glacés, are available at specialty and gourmet markets.
