Hi Bluecrystal,

I bought the chestnut puree from Sun Lik. You can make your own by boiling your chestnut till soft then add in some sugar and continue boiling till chestnut are sweet, then blend it.

Bloom gelatine means..soak till the gelatine swell up ..about 5 mins. will do.

It's ok to ask questions...no problem.
