Ingredients

• 60 grams Whey protein powder (chocolate flavor)
• 20 grams Cocoa powder
• 70 grams Honey
• 100 grams Almond butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 50 grams Chopped almonds
• 50 grams Chopped walnuts
• 60 milliliters Milk
• 50 grams Dark chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Line a square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine the almond butter, honey, and milk. Microwave for about 30-45 seconds until the mixture is warm and easy to stir.

Step 3

Add the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract to the almond butter mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined and form a smooth, thick batter.

Step 4

Mix in the chopped almonds and walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the nougat mixture.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly using a spatula.

Step 6

Sprinkle the dark chocolate chips over the top of the nougat mixture, pressing them lightly into the surface.

Step 7

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the nougat is firm enough to cut.

Step 8

Once set, remove the nougat from the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 8 equal pieces using a sharp knife.

Step 9

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
