Napoli Matfia's Viral Chestnut Tiramisu

This is a premium, fan-favorite adaptation of the Chestnut Tiramisu originally created by Napoli Matfia (Kwon Sung-jun) on Netflix's Culinary Class Wars Season 1. During the convenience store challenge, he combined instant roasted chestnuts, digestive biscuits, espresso, and creamy mascarpone to create a viral sensation that took social media by storm. In early 2026, Korean retail outlets actually commercialized this specific recipe due to massive public demand. The dessert features a velvety chestnut puree folded into whipped mascarpone cream, layered with coffee-soaked biscuit bases, and dusted with dark cocoa powder for a perfect balance of earthy sweetness and bitter roast.

Ingredients

  • 200g ready-to-eat roasted chestnuts (packed)
  • 250g mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • 150ml heavy whipping cream
  • 50ml whole milk
  • 12 digestive biscuits or graham crackers
  • 1 cup strong hot espresso coffee
  • 2 tbsp sugar or maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp dark cocoa powder (for dusting)
  • 50g dark chocolate, grated (for topping)

Steps

  1. Simmer the ready-to-eat roasted chestnuts with whole milk and sugar in a small saucepan for 5 minutes until soft.
  2. Transfer the simmered chestnuts and milk into a blender and blend until completely smooth to create a thick chestnut paste. Let cool.
  3. In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold in the mascarpone and chestnut paste until combined into a smooth cream.
  4. Quickly dip the digestive biscuits into the hot espresso (do not over-soak) and arrange them in a layer at the bottom of your serving dish.
  5. Spread half of the chestnut mascarpone cream evenly over the biscuit layer.
  6. Repeat with another layer of coffee-dipped biscuits, followed by the remaining chestnut cream.
  7. Grate dark chocolate over the top and dust heavily with dark cocoa powder.
  8. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours to allow the flavors to meld and set before serving.
