Ingredients
Layered Nougat
- Ingredients
- 500 grams Nougat
- 80 grams white Couverture
- 250 grams chocolate hazelnut spread
- 45 grams Dark couverture chocolate
- 1 kilogram Dark couverture chocolate (for coating)
Heat the nougat over a hot water bath until 28°C (approximately 82°F). Chop the white chocolate and melt over a hot water bath, stirring, until 34°C (approximately 93°F). Stir the white chocolate and nougat together. Prepared the nut nougat and dark chocolate according to the same directions.
Arrange 2 (2.5 cm) (approximately 1 inch) thick candy bars on a clean work surface lined with parchment paper. Distribute 1/3 of the white chocolate-nougat mixture between the bars (about 3 mm high) (approximately 1/8 inch). Let cool slightly then spread 1/2 the dark chocolate-nut nougat over top and let cool. Repeat with the remaining white chocolate-nougat and dark chocolate-nut nougat mixture.
Let stand for about 3 hours then remove the candy bars. Melt the dark chocolate over a hot water bath then spread a thin coat over the underside of the nougat. Let harden then spread over the top. Let harden and cut into 2.5 x 2.5 cm (approximately 1 x 1 inch) cubes.

Healthy, because
The layered nougat also contains dark chocolate, which has a high cocoa content. The flavonoids contained in it balance blood pressure, are good for the heart and protect against vascular deposits. Meanwhile, secondary plant substances and magnesium ensure a relaxed mood in stressful situations.
Even smarter
The layered nougat should be eaten as soon as possible, because that's when it tastes best. It should be kept cool and dark in a sealable container.
