Preparation method
- To make a kind of (dark) sugar water, boil the cane sugar, water and glucose to 145°C.
- Boil the honey in another pot to 130°C.
- Beat the egg whites with a whisk in a planetary mixer to stiff peak.
- Set the planetary mixer to half speed and add the hot honey drop by drop.
- Continue adding the sugar water drop by drop. Keep the planetary mixer set at half speed.
- At first the mass is shiny, keep turning slowly until the mass becomes duller and tougher.
- Then, still turning slowly, add the garnish. Mix this briefly.
- Grease the work surface with pan coating and wet your fingers with water.
- Remove the mass from the mixing bowl and knead it well on the work surface, so that the garnish is evenly distributed.
- Line a gastronorm tray with wafer paper (place the ribbed edge against the nougat for better adhesion). This ensures you can release the nougat better.
- Distribute the nougat evenly in the tray and push well to ensure that there are no air pockets.
- Cover the top with wafer paper.
- Leave for 3 days at room temperature, in a dry place.
- Cut the nougat into the desired size.
