Yield: 12–14 pieces
Ingredients:
For the nougat center:
- 240ml heavy whipping cream
- 40g powdered erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener)
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the coating:
- 200g sugar-free dark chocolate (chopped or chips)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions:
- Prepare the Nougat Base
- In a mixing bowl, whip heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in powdered erythritol, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
- Shape the Candy
- Line a small baking dish or loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Spread the nougat mixture evenly into the pan.
- Freeze for about 1 hour, until firm enough to slice.
- Cut into Bars
- Remove nougat from the freezer and cut into bite-sized rectangles or bars.
- Place back in the freezer while preparing the chocolate coating.
- Make the Chocolate Coating
- Melt sugar-free chocolate and coconut oil together in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or in the microwave (short bursts, stirring in between).
- Coat the Candies
- Using a fork, dip each nougat bar into the melted chocolate, coating fully.
- Place coated candies on a parchment-lined tray.
- Chill & Serve
- Refrigerate or freeze until chocolate sets (about 30 minutes).
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Tips & Variations:
- Extra Fluffy: Whip nougat mixture a bit longer for an airier texture.
- Mocha Version: Add ½ tsp espresso powder to the nougat for a coffee-chocolate twist.
- Storage Tip: Best kept chilled, as the nougat softens at room temperature.
