Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until the chocolate is melted. In a food processor, combine the chestnut puree, almond extract, salt, and 1 cup of powdered sugar until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in half of the melted chocolate.
  2. Using a mixer, beat the cream and 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until fluffy. Set aside 1/2 cup of the whipped cream for garnish. Fold the remaining whipped cream into the chestnut mixture, a little at a time. Refrigerate the resulting chocolate mousse for 8 hours.

  3. Place the mousse into bowls, garnish with whipped cream and drizzle with melted chocolate.

    Instead of dark chocolate, you can use white chocolate and make white chocolate mousse.
