Categories: Kids, Quick and Easy, Gluten-Free *use hazelnuts instead of the biscuits One of my favourite gifts is a tray from the pastry shop with whipped cream, hazelnut biscuits, meringues and candied chestnuts so we can make Do-It-Yourself Montebianco. Everyone can make their own mini ones adjusting the proportions to their own taste. Mine has way more hazelnut biscuits. My younger son’s montebianco has more meringues and whipping cream while his brother’s is mainly whipping cream and candied chestnuts. Candied chestnuts are a much coveted sweet which are difficult to make properly. Every year Santa brings a few for the bottom of our Christmas stockings. Those that are not eaten, find their way into this dessert. For the full recipe for Montebianco, click here.
