Nougat cake without oven: videoreceta
Ingredients:
- 300 gr of Maria cookies
- 300 gr of soft nougat
- 500 ml of whipping cream
- 500 ml whole milk
- 160 gr of sugar
- 80 gr of butter
- 8 sheets of neutral gelatin
- 50 gr of raw almonds
- Pure cocoa powder
Nougat cake without oven: step by step
First, hydrate the gelatin sheets in cold water. The next step is to crush the cookies to make the cake base. I have used a mincer, but if you don’t have it, you can use a mortar or put them in a freezer bag and crush them with a roller.
Put the cookies in a bowl, add the completely liquid butter and mix well with a spoon. You have to have a texture similar to wet sand.
Cover the bottom of a removable mold with parchment paper and dump the crushed cookies inside. Spread with your hand until you have covered it completely and with the back of a glass you press down so that you have a smooth and compact base. Keep it in the refrigerator.
Now you put the diced nougat and the milk in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring with some rods until the nougat has completely dissolved.
When the nougat is fully integrated with the milk, add the cream and sugar (reserve 2 tablespoons) and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat when hot, but not boiling. Drain the gelatin sheets, add them to the mixture and stir again until they have completely dissolved.
To make it easier for you to pour the mixture into the mold, you can put it in a jug. Pour the contents slowly over a tablespoon to avoid spoiling the base. Let it cool down to room temperature for about 20 minutes. Cover with film and refrigerate it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, although I recommend that you leave it for 24 hours.
Chop the almonds and put them in a pan over medium heat. Stir them until they are toasted and when you see that they are golden add the two tablespoons of sugar and stir until it is completely caramelized. Set aside for garnish.
After the refrigeration time has elapsed, take the cake out of the fridge and run a knife around the edge to detach it and be able to unmold it without problems.
To decorate it, add a generous layer of cocoa powder with the help of a fine mesh strainer and top with almonds to taste. Open the mold slowly so that it looses little by little and remove it carefully.
And voila, you can now enjoy a nougat cake that looks delicious.
