Method

  • step 1

    Butter and line a 900g/2lb loaf tin with cling film. Bring a pan of water to a gentle simmer. Put the sugar and eggs in a heatproof bowl, then place over the simmering water and whisk until pale, thick and doubled in volume. Remove from the heat, plunge the bottom of the bowl into cold water and continue whisking until the mixture is cool.

  • step 2

    Melt the chocolate in the microwave on Low, stir, then fold into the egg mixture. Whip the cream to soft peaks and fold into the chocolate egg mixture with the nougat and pistachios.

  • step 3

    Pour the mixture into the loaf tin, smooth the surface with a spoon, then cover and freeze until firm. This can be done up to 2 weeks ahead. To serve, turn out onto a serving dish, remove the cling film and leave in the fridge for 15 mins to soften slightly before slicing.

RECIPE TIPS
TORRONE

Torrone is a traditional Italian hard nougat and is available in most good delis. This recipe calls for a hard nougat - rubbery pink and white bars won't work here!

question

Is it meant to incorporate the egg yolks as well? Most recipes use only the egg whites.

question

What percentage of cocoa solids in the dark chocolate would you recommend using for this recipe? Thank you

Hi, thanks for your question. We generally use a 70% cocoa dark chocolate, but you can use a little higher or lower if you prefer and it will still work well. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

if using toblerone instead of hard nougat still add the pistachios

I recommend using toblerone if you cannot find any hard nougat.

Amazing was a real hit at a friends supper party. I couldn’t find any hard nougat so chopped up the equivalent amount of toblerone which was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be making it again very soon.

Did you still add pistachios or just use Toblerone instead of nougat and pistachio?
