Frozen nougat (Slideshow version)

Stage 17/17 :

On the big day, cut out a portion of nougat and place it on the serving plate, surround it with a little raspberry coulis, and garnish with a mint leaf and/or candied grapefruit peel.

Remarks

All types of dried fruit can be modified if you wish. Instead of apricots, raisins, almonds and pistachios, you can use walnuts, hazelnuts, prunes, bananas, etc.

Similarly, the coulis can be made with strawberries, blackberries, blackcurrants, etc. I'd still recommend something a little tangy to contrast with the very sweet nougat.

Two methods are possible for the meringue:

French meringue", which is classic egg white + powdered sugar.
Italian meringue", where the sugar is cooked before being added to the egg whites.

You can choose one or the other. My preference is for the Italian meringue, which is trickier to make, but much creamier.
