Rinse chestnuts, rub dry, cut crosswise on the curved side. Boil the portions in boiling water for about 5 minutes. Remove the peel while still hot, removing the fine brown membranes as well. Again bring 1 liter of water to boil and soften chestnuts in 20 min. Drain the water. While still hot, press through a potato ricer or mash with a potato masher. Crumble almond macaroons and ladyfingers and mix together. Melt butter and knead together with the crumbs to form a kind of dough. Cover greased gratin dish, press firmly until smooth. Form a small rim and press it smooth, set aside to cool. Stir chestnut mixture with sugar, amaretto, and crème fraîche and spread on the crumb base mold, carefully smooth. Leave to stand in the refrigerator for 120 minutes.
Next, serve with whipped cream or possibly vanilla ice cream.
Have fun with this fine cake!
