Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Mixture
- 200 g dark chocolate or milk chocolate, to your liking
- 115 g Nutella (4 oz)
- 250 g nougat
- 125 g dark chocolate or milk chocolate (4 oz), to your liking
Nuts
- 135 g sliced almonds (1 cup)
- 135 g sliced almonds (1.5 cups)
Instructions
- Roast: Heat a medium skillet over medium-low heat and roast the sliced almonds by stirring occasionally. Continue until they are browned and fragrant, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Melt: Using a bain marie or double boiler, melt the chocolate until smooth. Once melted, add the Nutella and stir thoroughly until fully combined.
- Stir: Add the nougat to the melted chocolate mixture and continue stirring until the nougat has melted and the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add: Fold in the roasted sliced almonds to the chocolate and nougat mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Cover: Line an 18 x 18 cm (7 x 7 inch) dish with non-stick parchment paper. Pour the Viennese-nougat mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly. Allow it to cool slightly before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to set.
- Cut: Once firm, remove from the refrigerator and cut the Viennese-nougat into small rectangles for serving.
Notes
- Use either dark or milk chocolate depending on your preference for sweetness and intensity.
- Ensure almonds are evenly roasted for maximum flavor and crunch.
- If nougat is too hard, chop into smaller pieces to help it melt smoothly.
- Store the finished nougat in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- Cut nougat into bite-sized rectangles for easier serving and enjoyment.
