Line a small loaf pan or square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some to hang over the edges for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt the unsweetened chocolate and cocoa butter together, stirring until smooth.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine erythritol and heavy cream. Stir continuously until the erythritol is fully dissolved and the mixture reaches a slight boil.
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Once cooled, pour this mixture into the melted chocolate and cocoa butter, stirring until completely combined.
Add the powdered stevia, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing well to blend the flavors.
Chop the blanched almonds and fold them into the nougat mixture for added crunch.
Pour the nougat mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Chill the nougat in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until it becomes firm.
Once set, lift the nougat from the pan using the parchment paper edges. Cut into bite-sized pieces and serve.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
