   You can use it as-is on toast, or on pancakes, or mix with whipped cream to make a chestnut cream.

7. 7

   Mix it with whatever ice cream you have for a chestnut ice cream.

8. 8

   It makes a large batch, so I store it in a tub.

   If putting it in a pastry bag for something like Mont Blanc, mix with milk, heavy cream, or whipped cream until it can be piped out easily!
