Recipe's preparation

Chestnut Buttercream

Mix chestnut cream,icing sugar and butter speed 5 for 5 seconds, add milk and mix again speed 5 for 5 seconds to get a smooth icing that can be piped. Add more milk if needed.

Pipe or spread on the cupcakes.

Tip

I was given a jar of Bonne Maman chestnut cream and decided to use in a chestnut cupcake recipe I found as a substitute for:

3/4 cup sour cream, 3/4 cup sugar, 1/2 cup chestnut puree.

So if you have chestnut puree rather than the sweetened chestnut cream, use those 3 ingredients above instead.

Thermomix Model

Recipe is created for
TM 5

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
