The great thing about this recipe is that you can substitute or add your favorite dried fruits and nuts. Every time I prepare it, I feel that connection with my relatives and all those anecdotes that have been lived around this sweet.

Directions

45 min.
1. Step

Preheat the oven to 180°C. This step is essential for the toasted almonds to acquire a perfect consistency and flavor.

2. Step

Toast the almonds in the oven for about 10 minutes. Be careful not to burn them, otherwise, it may affect the flavor of the nougat.

3. Step

Grind the almonds until you get a coarse texture, a kind of sandy texture. In my experience, this consistency adds a lot to the crunchiness of the nougat.

4. Step

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the sugar and honey. Stir until you obtain a homogeneous paste.

5. Step

Add the lemon zest and cinnamon, ingredients that add a delicious aroma and flavor to the mixture.

6. Step

Add the crushed almonds and stir well to integrate with the other ingredients.

7. Step

In a mold previously lined with wafers, pour the almond mixture. It is important to press the dough so that it is compact and does not crumble when it is ready to be cut.

8. Step

Finally, cover with more wafers and let cool for about 4 hours.

9. Step

Once cold, cut the nougat into portions and enjoy.

10. Step

This nougat keeps perfectly for weeks and is a perfect Christmas gift for our loved ones.
