Ingredients (for 6 people): 

500 g chestnuts,

1 glass of milk,

5 spoons of sugar,

1/2 lt Chantilly cream,

1 pinch of vanillin (facultative)

Preparation (medium - 30 minutes): 

Peel and boil chestnuts.

When ready, remove the film and put them in a saucepan. Cover with milk, add vanillin (facultative) and put on the flame.

Mash chestnuts with a wooden spoon. When the purée is smooth and thick, add powdered sugar.

Pour some spoons of purée on a marble board and squeese the purée with a pierced spoon. The purée will come out worm-shaped.

When they're enough, remove them from the spoon (use the point of a knife) and place them cone-shaped into a plate.
Cover and surround the cone with Chantilly cream, giving it the aspect of a mountain covered by snow.
