Ingredients- Korean Chestnuts (Yakdanbam) 200g
- Milk 200mL
- Whipped Cream 1 Tbsp
- Babamba Ice Cream Bar 1 pc
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
1. The Korean chestnuts (yakdanbam) are already scored, making them easy to cook. Wash them thoroughly under running water, then pat them completely dry with paper towels. Place the chestnuts on parchment paper and cook in the air fryer at 190°C (375°F) for 12 minutes. This will soften them, allowing the skins to peel off easily.
Step 2
2. Once the roasted chestnuts are out of the air fryer, the skins should peel off very easily. Be careful as they will be hot.
Step 3
3. Prepare the ‘Babamba’ ice cream and milk. For a cold latte, add the frozen ‘Babamba’ bar directly to the milk and blend. For a warm latte, place the ‘Babamba’ bar and milk into a heatproof cup, then place the cup in the air fryer and heat at 200°C (400°F) for about 8 minutes. Use oven mitts to carefully remove the hot cup.
Step 4
4. Top your finished chestnut latte with the prepared whipped cream, and sprinkle with walnuts and the roasted chestnuts for added texture. This ‘Babamba’ chestnut latte is perfect to enjoy year-round. Now you can easily make it at home! You can also use this method with roasted sweet potatoes and replace the ‘Babamba’ with sweet potato for a delicious sweet potato latte. Have a wonderful day!
