Nougat Mousse Ingredients






Instructions
Step 1
Begin by measuring out **45 grams of egg white** and adding a pinch of **salt**. Whip the egg whites until they are soft peaks. In a small saucepan, combine **100 grams of sugar**, **30 grams of glucose syrup**, and **45 grams of water**. Heat over medium until the sugar dissolves and reaches a temperature of 115°C (239°F).
Once the syrup is ready, carefully pour it into the whipped egg whites while continuing to whisk. The mixture should become glossy and firm.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, combine **6 grams of gelatin** with **30 grams of water** and let it **sit for about 5-10 minutes** to bloom. After blooming, gently heat the mixture until the gelatin completely dissolves; take care not to boil it.
Step 3
Add the bloomed gelatin to the egg white and syrup mixture, stirring gently to combine. Next, fold in **50 grams of nut mix** which consists of **peanut butter** and **chopped nuts**. Make sure to maintain the airiness of the mousse as you combine the ingredients.
Step 4
Transfer the nougat mousse into a prepared mold or dish. **Refrigerate for at least 2 hours** to allow it to set. Ensure it is appropriately covered. During this time, the flavors will develop and the texture will become perfectly smooth.

Equipment
A sturdy mixing bowl will help you whip your ingredients together smoothly. Choose one that’s large enough to allow for plenty of mixing action!



An electric mixer makes the process much faster and will give you the fluffy texture you want for your cake layers!



Use a non-stick 16 cm cake pan for easy release. Don't forget to line it with parchment paper to ensure your cake comes out perfectly!
A good quality saucepan is key for making the nougat layer. Make sure it’s heavy-bottomed to prevent burning.



If you want to be precise with candy making, a food thermometer is a great tool to have on hand!

Keep the cake in an airtight container at room temperature. You can also refrigerate it for longer freshness, but bring it to room temperature before serving!

Absolutely! In fact, making it a day ahead can enhance the flavors. Just ensure to store it properly to keep it moist.
