Ingredients to make homemade chocolate and almond nougat step by step:
- 100 grams of milk chocolate
- 100 grams of dark chocolate
- 40 grams of lard
- 75 grams of crunchy almond
- 1 handful of almonds to decorate
How to make homemade chocolate and almond nougat step by step:
- We melted the chocolate by putting a not very large casserole with water on the fire. On top we place a metallic or glass bowl where we will leave the chopped chocolate. When the water is hot, the chocolate will begin to melt in a bain-marie. Stir occasionally and remove from heat when ready.
- Melt the butter in the same bowl, keeping it inside the casserole. With the heat of the chocolate it will melt after a few minutes. Mix until integrated to continue with the recipe for chocolate and almond nougat.
- Add the almond crocanti and mix very well until it is integrated.
- Pour the mixture into the nougat mold, smooth the surface if necessary and put a little more crunchy almond on top to decorate.
- Reserve the chocolate and crunchy almond nougat until set. If we are in a hurry, once cold we can cover it with transparent film and put it in the fridge. Enjoy your meal!
