Rory's Mont Blanc with Chocolate Sauce

This is quite the confection, but truly worth the effort. All of the elements of the dish can be prepared in advance for assembly at a later point. The meringues will keep for several days in an airtight container. The chestnut puree can be made and refrigerated the previous day as can the chocolate sauce.
