Frozen Nougat (Slideshow version)

Stage 18/18 :

On the day, slice the nougat and serve on a plate, surrounded with a little raspberry coulis, and with a mint leaf and/or piece of crystallized grapefruit on top.

Remarks

Any kind of dried fruits can be substituted: instead of apricots, raisins, almonds and pistachios you can use walnuts, hazelnuts, prunes, bananas, etc.

Same thing for the coulis, it can be made with strawberries, blackberries, blackcurrants,... I really recommend you use something slightly acidic to contrast with the sweetness of the nougat.

For the meringue you have two possible methods:

• "French meringue" is the classical meringue egg white + caster sugar
• "Italian meringue" where the sugar is cooked before putting onto whites.

You can choose one or the other. My preference is for the more delicate Italian meringue, more diffcult to do, but much smoother.
