How to make walnut nougat

• 

  1.Weigh the ingredients separately and prepare them (it is best to use white marshmallows with a pure taste, do not choose marshmallows with fillings);

• 

  2. Put 100 grams of walnut kernels in the oven and bake for 5-6 minutes.The time depends on the size of the walnuts.I peeled them a little bit and baked them for 6 minutes.(If you don’t have an oven, you can also use a pot to stir-fry over low heat until fragrant), (if you use peanuts, you need to bake them for 10-12 minutes);

• 

  3.After checking, use a rolling pin to slightly crush it and set aside.It does not need to be too crushed to retain the grainy texture and the taste will be better;

• 4. Prepare a flat container and cover it with plastic wrap.Sprinkle a little milk powder on the plastic wrap to prevent it from sticking.I used a baking pan.If you don’t have one, you can also use a cutter.Use a cutting board instead (the prepared nougat will be spread on it later to shape it);
• 

  5.Put butter in a non-stick pan and melt over low heat;

• 

  6. Wait for all the butter After melting, add marshmallows (must be on low heat);

• 

  7.Reuse Gently push the marshmallows with a spatula until they are completely dissolved (about 2 minutes);

• 

  8.After the marshmallows melt, add the milk powder and immediately turn off the heat.Use a spatula to quickly stir the milk powder into the marshmallows (if you want to eat something hard, add 1 minute longer and then turn off the heat);

• 

  9.Approximately mixed;

• 10.Add walnuts and continue mixing (you need to be quick during the mixing process, otherwise the marshmallows will become hard and the mixture will not be mixed evenly);

• 

  11. If you feel that the mixing with a shovel is uneven, you can knead it with your hands.Note that it is a little hot, so you can knead it with your hands and then rub it with both hands.Knead again, and it will be very even after about ten times;

• 

  12.Knead it well again Quickly place the nougat on the spread baking sheet or cutting board, and quickly arrange it with your hands;

• 

  13.Put a layer of plastic wrap on the nougat, then roll it flat with a rolling pin.It is best to roll it into a square shape, and control the thickness by yourself;

• 

  14. Roll out the nougat (roll it out smooth enough to cut it beautifully), then put it in the refrigerator for 1 hour to set (if it’s cold in winter) If it’s cold, it can be set at room temperature without refrigeration.Mine is now 30℃)

• 

  15. Refrigerated When the good nougat hardens, it can be cut.If it sticks to the knife when cut, it means that the refrigeration time is not enough;

• 

  16.Cut into desired size;

• 

  17.Package It’s done with a beautiful wrapping paper.I also wrapped it with a layer of glutinous rice paper, which is more hygienic when eating, and is non-stick for better storage.Glutinous rice paper is sold on Taobao;



18.Finished product.Children especially like it.It can be put into a beautiful souvenir box and given as a gift.It’s beautiful.
