I saw these ideas from a Chinese food website. The variation of the fillings are not limited to chestnut, you may use peanut butter balls, meat balls (as shown in one of my pictures below), or any other nutty balls.You can also make different shapes...it is fun!
Simple ingredients:
- 1 box Pie crust (normally including 2 sheets), defrosted
- 1 package Roasted chestnuts without shells(can be purchased in Asian grocery stores)
- 1/4 cup sugar (white or brown; add more if you like sweeter)
- 1 egg for coating
- Crush the chestnuts in a food processor, add sugar and blend together with the same food processor. The mixture should be soft enough to roll into balls (1 Tbsp. size).
- Cut the pie crust into stripes (about 3-inches long and 1/2-inch wide). Use 8 stripes to make one ball as shown in the pictures below.
- Place the balls on a cookie sheet and brush with the egg. Bake at 350 F degrees for 25 minutes.
