Looking for Creme de Marron
Asked on 28 Nov 2018 by Cherrie
To make the iced chocolate creams that can be frozen ahead it says to use a tin of Creme marrons (sweetened chestnut purées). This is almost impossible to find in any supermarket, is there an alternative ingredient?
Thank you

I’ve bought it in Waitrose and farm shops too. Marks&Spencer might have it – they do have an excellent range or products.
I do not think there is a substitute that’s good enough.
Kind regards
