Nutritional values

Anyone who loves nuts and but hates how much fat they contain should eat chestnuts more often; 100 grams contains only 2 grams of fat! Thanks to their rich starch and fiber content, chestnuts always make you feel full.

Would you prefer to save even more fat? Then replace the whipped cream with low-fat whipping cream or soy cream and use 2 teaspoons of vegetable or nut oil instead of butter.
