Ingredients

• 400 ml Heavy cream
• 3 large Egg whites
• 150 g Granulated sugar
• 50 g Honey
• 50 g Almonds
• 50 g Pistachios
• 50 g Dried cranberries or candied fruits
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt
• 150 ml Raspberry or strawberry coulis (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving excess over the edges for easy removal later. Set aside.

Step 2

Roughly chop the almonds and pistachios. Toast them lightly in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant and set aside to cool.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey and 100g of the granulated sugar. Cook until the sugar dissolves and the mixture reaches 118°C (244°F) on a candy thermometer. Be careful not to let it burn.

Step 4

While the sugar is cooking, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt in a clean, dry bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 50g of granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.

Step 5

With the mixer running on low speed, slowly pour the hot sugar mixture into the beaten egg whites in a thin stream. Be careful not to splash. Once all the sugar mixture is added, increase the speed to medium-high and continue beating until the bowl feels cool to the touch. This forms an Italian meringue.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add vanilla extract to the whipped cream and gently fold it into the cooled meringue.

Step 7

Fold in the toasted nuts and dried cranberries or candied fruits until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover with the overhanging plastic wrap and freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight until set.

Step 9

To serve, remove the Nougat Glacé from the loaf pan using the plastic wrap and slice with a sharp knife. Serve with a drizzle of raspberry or strawberry coulis, if desired.
