Mont Blanc (Chestnut Cream Pastry)

Mont Blanc is a dessert piles with sweetened chestnut puree on top of meringues. The name resembles a snow-capped mountain. 

I wanted to make this since I started making miniature from polymer clay. The most difficult part of making Mont Blanc was piping the chestnut puree. I tried to use clay gun, but it was very difficult to pipe out the puree from the clay gun, maybe because I did not add any liquid clay to it. I decided to use the piping tip instead.
