The primary structure relies on choux pastry, which is cooked twice for stability and crispness. Roasting and caramelisation of chestnuts brings depth. The choux tart shell is a technical, less-common alternative to pâte sucrée.</p> <h2 id="ingredients">Ingredients</h2> <p>Each component contributes to structure, stability, and the intended seasonal character. Choux requires precise hydration and heat. Chestnuts are roasted for flavour and ground for creaminess. Praline adds texture and copper colour. Egg yolks, starch, and dairy stabilise the filling.</p>
