Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Unsalted pistachios
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 100 grams Erythritol sweetener
- 50 grams Allulose sweetener
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 40 grams Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and spread the pistachios on a baking sheet. Roast them for 8-10 minutes until fragrant. Let them cool and then roughly chop.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine erythritol, allulose, and butter. Stir continuously until the sweeteners dissolve completely and the mixture reaches a light simmer.
In the meantime, in a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with salt until soft peaks form using an electric mixer.
Slowly pour the hot sugar mixture into the egg whites, beating constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy, akin to making meringue. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
Gently fold in almond flour, vanilla extract, and the toasted pistachios until combined.
Line a small square baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches) with parchment paper. Pour the nougat mixture into the dish and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Allow the mixture to set in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until firm.
Once set, remove from the refrigerator. Lift the nougat out of the dish using the parchment paper and cut into 12 equal pieces.
Store in an airtight container in a cool place for up to a week.
