Ingredients
- 100 grams Unsalted pistachios
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 100 grams Erythritol sweetener
- 50 grams Allulose sweetener
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 40 grams Butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and spread the pistachios on a baking sheet. Roast them for 8-10 minutes until fragrant. Let them cool and then roughly chop.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine erythritol, allulose, and butter. Stir continuously until the sweeteners dissolve completely and the mixture reaches a light simmer.
Step 3
In the meantime, in a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with salt until soft peaks form using an electric mixer.
Step 4
Slowly pour the hot sugar mixture into the egg whites, beating constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy, akin to making meringue. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Gently fold in almond flour, vanilla extract, and the toasted pistachios until combined.
Step 6
Line a small square baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches) with parchment paper. Pour the nougat mixture into the dish and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Allow the mixture to set in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until firm.
Step 8
Once set, remove from the refrigerator. Lift the nougat out of the dish using the parchment paper and cut into 12 equal pieces.
Step 9
Store in an airtight container in a cool place for up to a week.
