Instructions:
- Prepare the Almonds: If you prefer a more intense flavor, you can toast the almonds in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Let them cool.
- Process the Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the almonds, dates (pitted), cocoa powder, coconut oil, cinnamon, and salt. Blend until you obtain a homogeneous and manageable mixture.
- Shape the Nougat: Place the mixture on a sheet of parchment paper and shape it into a rectangular block, pressing firmly to compact it.
- Refrigerate: Wrap the nougat in the parchment paper and refrigerate for at least two hours to firm up.
- Serve: Once firm, cut the nougat into slices or small squares and enjoy this healthy Christmas snack.
Tips:
- You can store this nougat in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- If you want a sweeter touch, you can add a little honey or agave syrup to the mixture.
- Experiment with different spices, such as nutmeg or ginger, to give it a unique flavor.
Enjoy this delicious and healthy nougat during the Christmas season or whenever you crave a sweet and nutritious snack!
