For the Chestnut Puree:

For the Whipped Cream:

- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1/4 cup of powdered sugar

To start, preheat your oven to 400°F. Cut an "X" on the flat side of each chestnut and place them on a baking sheet. Roast the chestnuts for 20-25 minutes or until the shells start to peel away from the nut. Remove the chestnuts from the oven and let them cool. Once cooled, peel the chestnuts and set them aside.
In a saucepan, combine the chestnuts, water, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer the mixture for 20-25 minutes or until the chestnuts are soft. Remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool.
Once the chestnut mixture has cooled, transfer it to a blender and blend until smooth. Add the heavy cream and blend again until the mixture is creamy and velvety.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
To assemble the dish, spoon the chestnut puree into serving glasses and top with whipped cream. Garnish with crushed chestnuts and chocolate shavings.
