Ingredients You’ll Need
(Makes 12–16 pieces)
For the Nougat Layer:
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (120g) sugar-free maple syrup (like Lakanto or ChocZero)
- ¼ cup (30g) powdered erythritol or allulose blend
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- ½ cup (50g) unsweetened shredded coconut (or finely ground blanched almond flour for nut version)
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 1 cup (170g) sugar-free milk chocolate chips (like Lily’s Sweets or ChocZero)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or MCT oil (for smooth melting)
💡 Pro Tips:
- Use allulose-based sweeteners if you want a softer, chewier nougat (erythritol can crystallize).
- Shredded coconut adds structure without nuts—essential for authentic nougat texture.
- Line your pan with parchment for easy removal.
