Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Line a square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
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.
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.
Mix in the chopped almonds and walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the nougat mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
Sprinkle the dark chocolate chips over the top of the nougat mixture, pressing them lightly into the surface.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the nougat is firm enough to cut.
Once set, remove the nougat from the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 8 equal pieces using a sharp knife.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
