      I had to go yesterday, at making some nougat. I followed the recipe, to the letter, bringing the honey and sugar mixture to the temperature stated in the recipe.

      I am a little dissapointed because the nougat is really soft. I have left it for 24 hours to see if it firmed up as stated but it hasn’t. The only thing i can think of what went wrong is the temperature of the sugar mix, maybe 120C is not hot enough. Maybe next time I will try to get it up between 130 and 140C and see how that goes.

      Still tastes nice even if it is stucky and soft.

      • After trying the nougat I am even more disappointed that it hasn’t set a bit firmer.

        The taste is delightful but what I found the best is the mouthfeel. You can feel that the mixture has a whipped quality within and is so smooth and silky.

        This certainly won’t beat me, i have the ingredients for another batch. Watch this space!

            Nougat can be so tricky… even a few degrees make a huge difference. But this looks beautiful, and I’m sure it tastes amazing!
