Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Raw honey
- 0.5 cup Almond butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped almonds
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring some overhang for easy removal later.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil.
Once the coconut oil is melted, add in the raw honey and stir until well combined.
Add the cocoa powder to the mixture, stirring constantly to prevent lumps, until the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the almond butter, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
Fold in the chopped almonds and shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours, or until set and firm.
Once set, remove from the refrigerator and lift the nougat out using the parchment paper overhang.
Cut the nougat into desired serving sizes using a sharp knife.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
