I have not been here for too long and I apologize to my regular readers. Blame it on a schedule too full, makes me earn revenue without having time to write. Fortunately, the photos and notes I take when preparing a recipe are just screaming, for me to include in a single message.
For forgiveness, a little recipe prepared for the anniversary of my mother a few months ago, but that should be published. Her favorite sweet ingredient: chestnut cream. Last year, she had a right to Mille-feuille with chestnut cream. This year, a little less technical, a little lighter but equally delicious: A chocolate, chestnut and puffy quinoa dessert. Test them to impress your mother or your Valentine!

Hello Bibou,
Blown quinoa is found in most stores bios to the radius breakfast cereals.
I tested the recipe, very disappointed by the puffed quinoa is soft and stayed soft, I thought it would be cute, is it normal that the puffed quinoa is soft ?
@ Lyly: It is true that quinoa loses a bit of crunch by being mixed with butter, but it should not be soft. Trying to cool a little butter before mixing it with quinoa and reduce slightly the amount of butter (with the risk that the base quinoa is a little more fragile).
