These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference.

I used fresh chestnuts for this recipe and they were amazing. I highly recommend using fresh chestnuts if you can find them.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my tartlets turned out soggy. I think I might have overcooked them.

These were easy to make and they turned out beautifully. I used a gluten-free puff pastry crust and they were still delicious.

The tartlets were a bit dry. I think I would have added more liquid to the filling.

These tartlets were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with less sugar in the filling.

These were so easy to make and they turned out so well! I used a store-bought puff pastry crust, and it worked perfectly. The filling was rich and creamy, and the bananas and chestnuts were a great combination.

I'm not a big fan of bananas, but I loved these tartlets! The chestnuts really balanced out the sweetness of the bananas, and the puff pastry crust was amazing.

These banana chestnut tartlets were a hit! The combination of sweet bananas and earthy chestnuts was perfect, and the puff pastry crust was flaky and delicious. I added a dollop of whipped cream on top, and it was the perfect finishing touch.
