INGREDIENTS:
- 50 g butter
- 300 ml milk
- 300 g of soft almond nougat
- 300 ml whipping cream
- 4 sheets of neutral gelatin
- 150 g of sugared almonds
- 120 g Maria cookies
RECIPE:
1. We will start at the base. To do this, we are going to melt the butter in a saucepan and then crush the cookies. If you prefer, you can put the cookies in a bag and crush them manually by passing a rolling pin over them. This way, the cookies will not be powdery, but rather small pieces of cookie will remain.
2. Next, we will mix the cookies with the butter and a tablespoon of milk. We will stir the mixture until we obtain a homogeneous mass that we will spread over the base of the removable mold.
3. Once the base is finished, we will get to work on the body of the cake. First, we will immerse the gelatin sheets in a bowl with cold water to hydrate them.
4. We set the bowl with the gelatin aside and chop the nougat. Next, we will put all the milk in a small saucepan and add the chopped nougat, stirring over low heat until the nougat has dissolved.
5. Once the nougat is completely melted, we will add the cream and mix very well.
6. Next, we remove the gelatin leaves from the water and drain them well to add them to the mixture in the saucepan.
7. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the gelatin sheets, stirring until a uniform mixture is obtained.
8. To finish, we pour our creamy mixture into the mold, on the cookie base, and let it cool a little. Once it cools, we will transfer it to the refrigerator and let it cool overnight.
And now, the best moment has arrived, the time to serve our delicious nougat cake. To do this, we will use our sugared almonds, with which we will follow the same process as with the cookies, so that they remain in small pieces that we will sprinkle on the cake.
That’s all, all that’s left to do is plate it up and enjoy!
