Nougat (French - Dessert) Recipe

A confectionery made with sugar or honey, roasted nuts (typically almonds or pistachios), and sometimes dried fruits. Nougat has a chewy texture and is often enjoyed as a sweet treat or given as a gift.

Ingredients:

Sugar - 17.6 ounces (500 grams)
Honey - 17.6 ounces (500 grams)
Glucose syrup - 7 ounces (200 grams)
Egg whites - 2
Almonds - 10.6 ounces (300 grams)
Pistachios - 3.5 ounces (100 grams)
Dried fruits (optional) - 7 ounces (200 grams)
Step No - (Instruction)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Spread the almonds and pistachios on a baking sheet and roast them for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let them cool down.
In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, honey, and glucose syrup. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to boil.
Using a candy thermometer, monitor the temperature of the mixture until it reaches 150°C (302°F).
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff.
Remove the syrup mixture from the heat and gradually fold it into the egg whites, stirring constantly. Continue to mix until the mixture becomes thick and glossy.
Add the roasted nuts and dried fruits (if using) to the mixture and stir to combine.
Pour the mixture into a lined square or rectangular baking dish. Smooth out the top with a spatula.
Allow the nougat to cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Once it has hardened, remove it from the dish and cut it into small squares or bars.
Serve and enjoy your homemade nougat! Keep any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
