Ingredients

  1. 1 cup raw sugar
  2. 1/4 cup water
  3. 1 can boiled chestnuts
  4. 2 teaspoons Grand Marnier
  5. 1/3 loaf pound cake, torn
  6. 8 tablespoons Marsala
  7. 8 tablespoons sweetened whipped cream
  8. Caramel sauce
  9. 1 package blackberries
  10. Walnuts

Instructions

  1. Make a simple syrup by combining the raw sugar and water in a saucepan and cooking over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  2. Next, drain the water from the canned chestnuts. Place in a food processor and puree. Add the simple syrup and Grand Marnier, to taste, while blending (chef’s tip: make it a bit sweeter then you like). Lay the torn chunks of pound cake in the bottom of 4 serving glasses. Add 2 tablespoons of Marsala to each and then some chestnut puree on top of the poundcake. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  3. After removing it from the refrigerator, add layers of the whipped cream and caramel sauce. Top with blackberries and walnuts before serving.
