Chocolate nougat is a treat that children and chocolate lovers adore. Nougat in chocolate is prepared using chocolate with a high cocoa content. The whole process takes two to three hours, but the result is delicious. Nougat is considered an oriental treat, but the invention of the chocolate version belongs to the French. Because of the nuts, it can be considered healthy, although very high in calories.

How to cook Chocolate nougat

Step 1

Cook the syrup. Pour water and sugar into a thick-bottomed saucepan. Stir, cook over low heat for 5-7 minutes until bubbles appear.

Step 2

Prepare the almonds. Peel the almonds. Leave 10-15 nuts whole, crush the rest in a blender. Fry the nuts in a frying pan over low heat, stirring, until golden brown.

Step 3

Melt the chocolate. Melt the required amount of chocolate in a water bath until soft.

Step 4

Combine all ingredients. Pour chopped and whole nuts into a pan with caramel and pour in liquid chocolate. Stir the mixture, pour into molds. Put the nougat in the freezer until it hardens completely.

Chocolate nougat - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute almonds with other nuts?

Yes, you can use walnuts, hazelnuts, or peanuts as alternatives to almonds for a different flavor and texture.

How long does homemade nougat last and how should I store it?

Store nougat in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or refrigerate for up to a month. Freezing can extend shelf life to 3 months.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, this nougat recipe is naturally gluten-free, but always check chocolate labels to ensure no gluten-containing additives are present.

Can I make this recipe vegan?

Absolutely! Use dairy-free chocolate and ensure your sugar is vegan (some refined sugars use bone char). The rest of the ingredients are plant-based.

What's the best way to melt chocolate if I don't have a double boiler?

Create a makeshift double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water.

Can I add other mix-ins to this nougat?

Certainly! Dried fruits like cranberries or orange peel, coconut flakes, or even a pinch of sea salt would make delicious additions.

How do I prevent my nougat from sticking to the molds?

Lightly grease molds with coconut oil or line them with parchment paper for easy removal after freezing.

My syrup crystallized - how can I fix this?

Add a tablespoon of corn syrup or lemon juice to prevent crystallization, or gently reheat with a bit of water to dissolve the crystals.

Can I make this recipe sugar-free?

Yes, use erythritol or monk fruit sweetener instead of sugar and sugar-free chocolate, though texture may vary slightly.

What's the best way to serve this nougat?

Enjoy at room temperature with coffee or dessert wine. For presentation, dust with cocoa powder or drizzle with melted chocolate before serving.
