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.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Steps:
- Make ganache:
- Bring cream and butter to a simmer in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan, then reduce heat to low. Whisk in chocolate until smooth and remove from heat. Transfer ganache to a bowl and chill, covered, stirring every 30 minutes, until thickened but spreadable, about 2 hours. (If ganache becomes too stiff, let stand at room temperature until slightly softened.)
- Make cake layers while ganache chills:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter cake pans and line bottom of each with a round of parchment or wax paper. Butter paper and dust pans with flour, knocking out excess flour.
- Pulse chestnuts with flour, baking soda, and salt in a food processor until finely ground.
- Beat butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes in a standing mixer or about 6 minutes with a handheld. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in vanilla (mixture will look a little separated). Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture and sour cream alternately in 3 batches, beginning and ending with flour and mixing until just combined.
- Divide batter evenly among pans and bake in middle of oven until pale golden and springy to the touch, about 30 minutes. Cool cakes in pans on racks, then invert onto racks and remove parchment.
- Make mousse and assemble torte:
- Melt butter and chocolate in a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring until smooth, and stir in Cognac. Transfer to a bowl and chill, covered, stirring occasionally, until thickened to the consistency of softened butter, about 1 hour. (If mixture becomes too stiff, let stand at room temperature until softened.)
- Beat cream in a bowl with cleaned beaters until it just holds soft peaks, then chill, covered, while beginning to assemble torte.
- Put 1 cake layer on cardboard round on a rack set in a shallow baking pan (1 inch deep). Spread 1/2 cup ganache evenly over top of layer and sprinkle with all of chopped marrons glacés. Top marrons glacés with another 1/4 cup ganache and cover with another cake layer.
- Beat egg whites with a pinch of salt using cleaned beaters at medium-high speed until they just hold soft peaks. Add sugar and beat at high speed until whites just hold stiff peaks. Stir whipped cream into chocolate Cognac mixture, then stir in one third of whites to lighten. Fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly. Spoon mousse immediately onto cake layer (it sets quickly), spreading evenly, then top with third cake layer. Chill torte, covered, until mousse layer is firm, about 1 hour. Keep remaining ganache at a spreadable consistency at room temperature, chilling, covered, if it becomes too soft.
- Glaze cake:
- Reserve 1 1/4 cups ganache in a metal bowl, then spread remainder over top and side of torte to seal in crumbs. Chill until firm, about 1 hour.
- Set bowl of reserved ganache over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring until ganache reaches a pourable consistency. Remove bowl from heat and cool 5 minutes. Pour ganache evenly over top of torte, making sure it coats all of side. Shake rack gently to smooth glaze (let excess drip into baking pan). Transfer cake on cardboard to a cake stand or plate using 2 large heavy metal spatulas and chill until set. Garnish just before serving.

Steps:
- Bring chestnuts, milk, and salt to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Partially cover; cook until chestnuts are very soft and milk is reduced to 1/4 cup, about 15 minutes. Process mixture in a food processor until very smooth (if needed, add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time).
- Pass through a fine sieve into a bowl; discard solids. Press plastic wrap directly onto surface. Refrigerate puree 1 hour.
- Stir together sugar and 1/3 cup water in a small saucepan until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; cook until syrup registers 238 degrees on a candy thermometer (carefully tilt pan to fully submerge thermometer tip).
- Meanwhile, put yolks in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. With mixer running on low speed, gradually pour syrup down side of bowl. Increase speed to high; beat until pale, fluffy, and cool, about 8 minutes.
- Whisk cream in a clean mixing bowl until soft peaks form; set aside.
- Stir egg mixture into puree; whisk until smooth. Gently fold in whipped cream. Chill, with plastic wrap directly on surface, at least 2 hours or overnight.
CHOCOLATE CHESTNUT TART WITH RUM WHIPPED CREAM
Steps:
- Prepare the dough: in the bowl of a food processor, pulse together the flour, confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder and a pinch of salt. Pulse in the butter, egg yolk and vanilla until dough just comes together. Form into a disk. Wrap with plastic wrap and chill at least 1 hour or overnight.
- When you are ready to bake the crust, heat the oven to 325 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into an 11-inch circle. Press into a 9-inch tart pan and trim the edges. Prick the bottom of the dough all over with a fork; chill for 20 minutes or until firm. Cover the dough with a sheet of aluminum foil and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake 15 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until pastry is dry and firm, about 15 minutes longer. Cool completely.
- Make the filling: in a saucepan over medium heat, combine the chestnuts, milk, cream, sugar and a pinch of salt. Use the tip of a knife to scrape the vanilla seeds into the pot and then drop in the pod. Simmer until chestnuts are very soft, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool. Discard vanilla pod.
- Purée the filling in a food processor until very smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape into the tart shell and smooth the top.
- Make the whipped cream: whip the cream and confectioners' sugar until thickened. Whip in the rum. Spread the whipped cream over the chestnut filling. Using a vegetable peeler, shave chocolate curls over the top. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
