Wash the chestnuts and boil in boiling water for about 45 minutes, drain and skin removing the inner skin too. Pass through a food mill or a potato masher and keep aside.
Heat the milk until it boils. Add sugar and cocoa and melt them, then add Rhum too. Finally combine the chestnuts mixture and mix well.
Pass this mixture through a potato masher again and let it fall softly on a serving plate so that you form the typical mount shape. Serve this sweet with whipped cream sweetned with icing sugar.
