Steps:

  • Bring chestnuts, milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt to a boil over high heat in a small saucepan. Reduce heat, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until milk is reduced by one-quarter and chestnuts smash fairly easily against the side of the pot with the back of a spoon, 15-17 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, finely chop 4 oz. chocolate. Using a peeler, shave remaining 1 oz. chocolate; set aside until ready to serve.
  • Purée chestnut mixture in a blender on high speed until very smooth, about 2 minutes. Add chopped chocolate and 1 tsp. brandy and blend on high speed until chocolate is melted, about 30 seconds. Scrape into a large bowl and let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally (if lumps form, stir vigorously until smooth), 15-20 minutes.
  • Whip 2 cups cream with a whisk in another large bowl until it just barely holds soft peaks. Stir one-third of cream into chocolate mixture to lighten it, then fold in remaining cream just until incorporated. Transfer mousse to a large serving bowl, cover, and chill at least 2 hours or up to 1 day.
  • Whip remaining 1 cup cream and 1/2 tsp. brandy with whisk in a large bowl to medium peaks. Garnish mousse with reserved chocolate shavings and serve with whipped cream alongside.
  • Do ahead
  • Mousse can be made 1 day ahead; cover and chill.

10.5 ounces vacuum-packed or jarred roasted or steamed chestnuts (about 2 cups)
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
5 ounces best-quality bittersweet chocolate (at least 70% cacao), divided
1 1/2 teaspoons brandy, divided
3 cups heavy cream, divided

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Grease a 25cm springform tin, then line the base and sides with baking paper. Whisk eggs and sugar until pale and thick.
  • Sift the flour and cocoa together onto the mixture, then gently fold in, followed by the butter. Pour into the tin, ease to the edges, then bake for 8-10 mins until risen and firm to the touch. Cool in the tin.
  • Meanwhile, beat the chestnut purée and egg yolks until as smooth as possible. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water with half the cream. Remove from the heat, then beat into the chestnut mixture.

Steps:

  • Mix milk, cocoa powder, sugar, and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer. Add chestnuts; cook until chestnuts soften and milk has reduced by a little more than half, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

  • Crush the choocolate to smithereens in the food processor.
  • In a saucepan, heat the cream and milk until just about boiling and, with the motor off, pour into the processor through the funnel over the chocolate.
  • Let it stand for 30 seconds. Process for 30 seconds, then crack the egg down the funnel and process for 45 seconds more.
  • Add the chestnut puree and rum through the funnel, and process until everything is incorporated.
  • Remove the blade and using a rubber spatual and a spoon, fill 6 x 125ml glasses or pots.
  • Refrigerate for 5 hours or overnight to set, but be sure to take out long enough in advance to take the chill off as if it's too cool it will interfere with the "smoothness" of the dessert.
  • If wished, put a jug of unwhipped double cream on the table and let people pour it over their pots as they eat.
