Chestnut Mousse

This mousse or chestnut pudding is very easy but a little long to prepare (at least compared to the desserts that I usually share with you lol) because you have to cook the chestnuts for 40 minutes then bake the mousse in the oven for 15 minutes but the result is definitely worth it lol.
