Description
A creamy and comforting frozen nougat log dessert, reminiscent of childhood memories, featuring crunchy pistachios and toasted almonds.
Ingredients
Scale
- 150 g de pistaches
- 125 g d’amandes
- 100 g de sucre
- 2 blancs d’œufs
- 200 ml de crème fraîche
- 1 sachet de vanille
- 1 pincée de sel
Instructions
- Start by toasting the pistachios and almonds in a medium skillet over medium heat, watching carefully to avoid burning. Once fragrant, remove from heat and let cool.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form; the whites should be glossy and firm.
- In a separate saucepan, heat sugar with a bit of water to create a syrup. Once syrupy, slowly incorporate it into the egg whites while mixing.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream to the egg mixture, then add the toasted pistachios and almonds, taking care not to deflate the mixture.
- Pour the mixture into a cake mold and freeze for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- To serve, unmold onto a presentation plate and slice with a warm knife. Enjoy chilled, optionally with whipped cream or melted chocolate.
Notes
Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for easier mixing. Toast nuts slowly for the best flavor.
