Ingredients
- 150 grams unsweetened chocolate
- 120 grams almond butter
- 100 grams powdered erythritol
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 80 grams butter
- 60 grams crushed nuts (such as almonds or hazelnuts)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing a loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper, allowing some paper to hang over the sides for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a heatproof bowl, melt the unsweetened chocolate over a simmering pot of water, stirring until completely smooth. Alternatively, you can microwave it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.
Step 3
Once melted, set the chocolate aside to cool slightly.
Step 4
In a medium saucepan, combine the powdered erythritol, heavy cream, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to simmer.
Step 5
Insert a candy thermometer and continue to cook the mixture until it reaches 240°F (115°C), known as the soft ball stage.
Step 6
Remove from heat and immediately stir in the almond butter, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Step 7
Add the slightly cooled melted chocolate into the saucepan and mix thoroughly until the nougat is smooth and uniform.
Step 8
Fold in the crushed nuts gently to distribute them evenly throughout the nougat.
Step 9
Pour the nougat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 10
Let the nougat cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until set. For quicker setting, refrigerate for about 1 hour.
Step 11
Once set, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the nougat out of the pan. Cut into 12 equal pieces or portion sizes of your preference.
Step 12
Store the nougat in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate for longer storage.
