don’t be afraid to make nougat at home it is so easy,
all you need is a thermometer and a stand mixer.
homemade nougat tastes so great compared to the shop bought stuff.
recipe
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp corn syrup
3 egg whites (room temperature)
1/3 cup pistachios
1/3 cup dried cranberries
in a pan add the water, sugar, honey and corn syrup
stir until the sugar has melted and clip on a candy thermometer, do not stir it again.
once it heats to 112c start whipping the egg whites in a stand mixer
the sugar needs to heat to 120c, so by the time it gets from 112c to 120c the egg whites should be starting to peak.
once it gets to 120c remove from heat and put into a metal jug.
pour into the egg mixture in a slow continuous stream until it is all Incorporated,
turn up speed and mix for 4/6 minutes until mixture is thick and firm.
put in to oiled pan layer with wafer paper and smooth with a hot spatula
sprinkle some more nuts and cranberries on top.
leave to harden over night.

There is a recipe like this in Thomas Keller's Bouchon Bakery Cookbook. I have been meaning to make it for ages but still haven't prioritized actually doing so. Nougat looks so good!
I'm drooling all over my keyboard. This nougat looks simply amazing! PIstachios are a favorite around here and would be even more so in this recipe!
Yum! This looks so good I think I'll have to make an attempt to try this. 🙂

delicious recipe and beautiful cups! may i ask where they are from??
Thankyou i got them from amazon x
I’ve been looking a nougat recipe for quite some time and finally found this; gave it a try and it turn out very delicious. Thanks.
I’m glad you liked it xx
A question I have is, if you hear the sugar mixture to a lower temp than 120 degrees- will the nougat come out softer?
it has to reach 120c in order for it to set. this one is quite soft and chewy rather than hard. I haven’t have not made it at a lower temperature so I cant be sure x
