Ingredients

• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 200 grams light corn syrup
• 60 ml water
• 2 large egg whites
• 60 grams honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 20 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
• 100 grams dark chocolate chips (soy-free)
• 100 grams toasted almonds, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and lightly greasing it with oil. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.

Step 3

Increase the heat to medium-high and insert a candy thermometer. Allow the mixture to boil without stirring until it reaches 150°C (300°F).

Step 4

While the sugar mixture is heating, whisk the egg whites in a clean, grease-free bowl until soft peaks form.

Step 5

Once the sugar mixture reaches 150°C, remove it from heat. Slowly pour it into the egg whites, beating continuously with an electric mixer. Continue to beat until the mixture becomes thick and glossy.

Step 6

Add in the honey, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and salt. Beat until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler, then fold the melted chocolate and chopped toasted almonds gently into the nougat mixture.

Step 8

Transfer the nougat mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly to your desired thickness using a spatula.

Step 9

Allow the nougat to cool completely at room temperature until set, which may take a couple of hours.

Step 10

Once set, cut the nougat into pieces using a sharp knife. Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
