The chestnut you used are water chestnuts,generally used in Chinese cooking.The chestnuts used here are totally different and you can find it in the vegetarian or health food section of any good grocery store.Hope this helps!

I don't think there would be much difference in what you bought. I made her Chocolate Cloud Cake, which is a flourless cake. I wouldn't suggest you make it, I couldn't stop eating the damn thing, God was is good.

i made this recipe its yummy!! and very rich too. i found instead a can of chestnuts in water....these were white and floating in water(unlike the ones she uses) i dont know if these give the same flavour as the ones she uses.

Chestnuts - You can get them at any really good health food store, as they tend to carry a lot of food items for vegetarians. Hope this helps
