In a heavy saucepan, cook egg yolks, chestnut puree, and chocolate over low heat. Stir constantly until mixture thickens. Remove from heat right away.
Set aside to cool. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in cooled chestnut mixture. Add liqueur and beat until creamy. Taste and add more liqueur if desired.
