CHESTNUT CREAM FILLING
My French grandmother always made a chestnut yule log or "buche de Noel au marron" every Christmas. Here is a recipe for the delicious chestnut cream filling. I had trouble finding a recipe for this filling, but I tweaked one until I got it as close as I could. Nothing will ever be as good as Mamie's, but this comes quite close! You can frost the cake of your choice with this cream.

- Stir chestnut puree into the egg mixture, making sure to blend in well.
