Homemade nougat

Nougat is also a very important ingredient for Christmas, and my favorite – This year is the first time I have made my own nougat.I really love nougat, It is a good companion to marzipan, but can also be eaten alone 🙂

I've created two different kinds of nougat, a dark and a light version.
The dark, I've made with 85% Dark organic chocolate and the “bright” have I made with 57,8% Callebaut chocolate (the chocolate I use for covering cakes and candy).

The dark has, of course, the bitter from the dark chocolate, but after the taste of the roasted nuts. The light looks more like nougat which we know from the shops.

I poured some of the nougaten in a silicone chocolate mould and put it in the freezer and it worked fine. Nougaten melts very easily, similar to Ice-cube/ice cream chocolate.
