NOUGAT, SOFT NOUGAT (MONTELIMART, NOUGATINE)

Nougat, traditionally, in a French product made from honey and egg white, beaten to a frappe. Nuts and dried fruit are added to give the product called montelimart.

Originally, nougats were hard and chewy but of recent years soft nougats (sometimes called nougatines) have become very popular. They are higher in moisture content, lighter in density, and contain such powder ingredients as cocoa, milk powder, lactose, malt, and icing sugar, which have a shortening effect. Fat and emulsifiers are also included to overcome stickiness, and these aid cutting and forming.
