You can make all the elements of this delightful pud ahead of time, then simply assemble it at the last minute, or even at the table for a bit of theatre – there’s nothing else quite like it.

About the recipe
This is a super-delicious, quite fantastically unusual dessert. The balance of the silky chestnut flavour with the cream, the chocolate and the crunch of the biscuits works together absolutely beautifully, and it’s fun to put together, too.
