Ingredients
Nougat (fluffy center):
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2–3 tbsp powdered erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener, to taste)
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Chocolate coating:
- 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (or chopped 85–100% dark chocolate)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (for smoother melting)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Make the fluffy nougat
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Add sweetener, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt.
- Continue whipping until light, fluffy, and holds shape (don’t overwhip into butter).
2. Shape the bars
- Line a tray with parchment paper.
- Spoon or pipe the mixture into log/bar shapes.
- Freeze for 1–2 hours until firm.
3. Coat with chocolate
- Melt chocolate chips + coconut oil (microwave in 20-second bursts or double boiler).
- Dip each frozen bar into melted chocolate, coating completely.
- Place back on parchment paper.
4. Set
- Refrigerate or freeze until the chocolate hardens (about 15–30 minutes).
✅ Tips
- Keep them stored in the fridge or freezer—they soften quickly at room temp.
- Add a bit of gelatin (½ tsp bloomed) to the nougat if you want it more structured/chewy.
- For extra authenticity, whip longer to get that airy “mousse-like” texture.
