Whisk in bittersweet and milk chocolates, chestnut puree and rum. Return to heat, stirring, just until melted and combined. Place plastic wrap directly on surface; let cool until stiffened, about 1 hour.
In separate bowl, whip remaining cream; fold one-quarter into chocolate mixture. Fold in remaining cream. Pipe or spoon into dessert cups. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 6 hours. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
