How to Make Nougat Glace

  1. Step 1: Prepare the nougat base. In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler), gently melt the white chocolate (200g) with the honey (100g) and glucose syrup (50g). Stir continuously until smooth and combined.
  2. Step 2: Remove from heat and stir in the chopped nuts (100g – a mix of almonds and hazelnuts is recommended).
  3. Step 3: Line a shallow dish with parchment paper. Pour in the nougat mixture and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
  4. Step 4: Once firm, chop the nougat into small pieces (roughly 1cm cubes).
  5. Step 5: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream (300ml) until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar (50g) and vanilla extract (1 tsp) while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
  6. Step 6: Gently fold the chopped nougat into the whipped cream, ensuring the nougat is evenly distributed.
  7. Step 7: Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the ice cream to set properly.
  8. Step 8: Before serving, let the Nougat Glace sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to slightly soften. Serve and enjoy this delightful French Alps treat!
