Fruit and Nut Nougat

 

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups mixed dried fruits (apricots, cranberries, raisins, etc.), chopped
  • 1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, peanuts, pistachios, etc.), roasted and unsalted
  • 1 cup marshmallow cream (or you can make a sugar syrup for a traditional nougat)
  • 1 cup white chocolate, melted
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the mixture: In a large bowl, mix the chopped dried fruits and roasted nuts. Set aside.
  2. Make the nougat base: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate with butter in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Stir in the marshmallow cream (and vanilla extract if using) until fully combined.
  3. Mix together: Pour the melted chocolate and marshmallow mixture over the fruit and nut mix. Stir well until the fruits and nuts are evenly coated.
  4. Shape the nougat log: Lay out a large piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Spoon the mixture onto the paper and use the paper to help shape it into a log.
  5. Chill: Wrap the log tightly and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm enough to slice.
  6. Slice and serve: Once chilled, unwrap and slice the log into rounds. Serve as a sweet snack or dessert.
