Directions

In a frying pan, heat the chestnuts and milk for about 2 minutes. Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the chestnut mixture into a piping bag, then chill it in the fridge.
In the same frying pan, lightly fry the granola until golden. Set aside to cool.
In a bowl, combine the mascarpone, fresh cream, and sugar. Use an electric mixer to whip until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the chilled chestnut mixture, then transfer to a piping bag.
Pour the toffee nut latte into a bowl. Dip whole wheat cookies in the latte until they are softened. Layer the cookies in a serving dish, top with the chestnut cream mixture, and sprinkle with chocolate and granola.
