This no-bake chestnut and ladyfinger cake has a base made from chestnut puree mixed with ground cookies, milk, sugar, and rum. Chestnut puree has the rich flavor of candied chestnuts and is available at specialty stores or larger supermarkets. The base is spread with half of the buttery vanilla pudding cream, followed by a layer of ladyfingers and the remaining cream, then topped with whipped cream. The cake is ready in about half an hour and makes six servings.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Mix the chestnut puree with the ground or crushed cookies, sugar, rum, and milk until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a cake pan.

  2. Cook the pudding in the usual way: bring the milk and sugar to a boil, then pour in the pudding powder mixed with milk. Immediately stir the butter into the cooked pudding. Once everything has cooled, assemble the cake.

  3. Spread half of the pudding cream over the cookie base and arrange the ladyfingers on top. Spread the remaining cream over the ladyfingers.

  4. Whip the cream and spread it over the top of the cake. Refrigerate the cake overnight.

Tip: Mix the chestnut puree with a little milk until smooth before adding the cookies, since lumps would be difficult to work into the dry crumbs. If frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator ahead of time.
