Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Almonds
- 100 grams Erythritol
- 50 grams Allulose
- 60 ml Water
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the almonds evenly on the baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine erythritol, allulose, and water. Place over medium heat and stir until the sweeteners have dissolved completely.
Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. Let the mixture boil without stirring until it reaches 320°F (160°C). Remove from heat immediately.
While the syrup is heating, beat the egg whites and salt in a clean, dry bowl until soft peaks form.
Once the syrup reaches the desired temperature, carefully pour it in a thin, steady stream into the egg whites while continuing to beat on low speed. Be cautious as the syrup is extremely hot.
When all the syrup is incorporated, increase the mixer speed to high and continue whisking until the mixture becomes glossy and forms stiff peaks.
Fold in the vanilla extract and roasted almonds gently using a spatula.
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and pour the nougat mixture into it, smoothing the top.
Allow the nougat to cool and set at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until firm.
Once set, lift the nougat out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
