The tricky part is the baking timing — you'll want to catch it when the top sets but the center still wobbles, giving you that perfect molten middle. Chocolate lovers and chestnut fans will appreciate this indulgent treat that comes together through careful folding and layers of flavor.

About this recipe

Those rediscovered chestnuts didn't sit in my kitchen for long. They were roasted, and my hungry husband promptly ate a good chunk of them. The portion I managed to rescue went straight into a wonderful dessert, a recipe tip from my friend Tom. Dieters need not apply!
