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.

- In a saucepan over medium-low heat, cook the chestnuts in the milk for 5 mins or until soft enough to squish with your hands Tip - High heat will evaporate the milk and if all the milk evaporates add a few tablespoons more until the chestnuts are soft.
- Once soften, take it off the heat. While still warm (not hot) blend the chestnuts and milk in a food processor until smooth. Tip - If the mixture is too dry add a few tablespoons of milk to make a smooth puree.
- Pass through a sieve, pressing firmly to get as much as you can. Make sure the mixture is not too dry or it won't pass through.Tip - straining thru a sieve will take away all the fiber and skin which gives a nicer consistency for the mousse.
- Combine the gelatin with 1/3 cup of water. Let soak for 3 minutes then heat in the microwave for 30 to 40 seconds until completely dissolved. Let cool slightlyTip - if you have any white scum on top of the melted gelatin, take it out with a spoon.
