Chestnut Cream

When I was a child, my grandmother often took me and my sister to a patisserie. I still very vividly remember one particular taste - the taste of the chestnut cream. We would both indulge in this combination of chestnuts and sugar, topped with a copious amount of whipped cream and grated chocolate. What a joy it was for me to recreate the recipe without the use of sugar without sacrificing the taste. How powerful are childhood memories?
