- 60 ml (¼ cup) milk
- 60 ml (¼ cup) pouring cream
- 100 g Valrhona cooking chocolate, finely chopped
- 60 g glacé chestnuts, cut in small pieces
- 2 tbsp raspberry jam

Instructions
Place the milk and cream in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Place the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl, pour over the hot cream and whisk until smooth and well combined. Divide the mixture among 4 small shallow serving bowls or glasses. To each one, add 5 small pieces of glacé chestnuts, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until firm.
Place the raspberry jam in a small plastic piping bag and pipe a little jam into the cavity of each raspberry. Dust the raspberries with icing sugar or cocoa. Place a glacé chestnut in the centre of each bowl, place the raspberries around the edge and serve immediately.
