Ingredients
500g of assorted nuts
225g of acacia honey
360g of sugar
30g of honey (or glucose)
100g of water
60g egg whites
30g of sugar
2 sheets of wafer
Preparation
Pour the 225g of honey into a saucepan and heat it until it reaches 124 degrees Celsius.
In another saucepan, pour the 360g of sugar, 30g of honey and 100g of water. Heat this mixture until it reaches 145 degrees Celsius.
While both mixtures are heating, beat the egg whites with the 30g of sugar until they form soft peaks.
Once the honey reaches 124 degrees, slowly pour it over the whipped egg whites while continuing to beat.
When the sugar, honey and water mixture reaches 145 degrees, pour it over the whipped egg whites while continuing to beat. You will obtain a shiny and thick mixture.
Add the nuts to the mixture and stir well to integrate evenly.
Pour the mixture onto one wafer sheet and place the other wafer sheet on top. Use a rolling pin to level the mixture and obtain a nougat of uniform thickness.
Let the nougat cool in a cool, dry place for about 12 hours.
Once cooled, cut the nougat into portions and store in a cool, dry place. Do not put it in the refrigerator.
Tips
You can toast the nuts before adding them to the mixture to enhance their flavor.
Use a cooking thermometer to ensure that mixtures reach exact temperatures.
Make sure the place where you cool the nougat is free of moisture to prevent it from softening.
Enjoy your homemade white nougat, perfect for sharing at parties and special celebrations. Bon appetit!
