4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, creating a smooth batter.

Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, and keep the waffles warm until serving.
8
For the whipped cream, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
9
Melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler or on low heat, then drizzle it over the waffles.
10
When serving, top the waffles with the remaining chestnut purée, add a dollop of whipped cream, and drizzle with the melted chocolate.
