3. Tips to make delicious and properly preserved soft Nougat
How to make soft Nougat
- The secret to making soft and chewy Nougat is to use more corn syrup and less sugar.
- Additionally, the higher the temperature of the corn syrup, the harder the candy will be, so you should monitor the syrup temperature to reach the standard.
How to make non-runny Nougat
- To prevent Nougat from becoming runny, add a little cornstarch to the mixture.
- Place the cornstarch and Nougat mixture in a glass bowl, then place it in a double boiler. Stir well until the mixture blends together. Once the Nougat reaches a beautiful, chewy consistency, turn off the heat, let it cool and set on a tray.
How to preserve Nougat for a long time
You should store Nougat in the refrigerator's cool compartment to maintain its structure and preserve its delicious flavor.
