Nuts, Seeds & Pastes
Substitutes for Nougat (Torrone) in gelato
Nougat, known in Italy as torrone, is a hard confection of caramelized sugar, honey and toasted nuts (usually almond or hazelnut) bound with whipped egg white. In gelato it is added as a semi-finished paste, and often with chopped inclusions, to deliver a honeyed, roasted-nut flavor plus a heavy sugar and solids load.
