What is French Nougatine?

French nougatine is a sweet confection made from sugar mixed with nuts. There are two variations. One is firm and crunchy with a golden color from the cooking process of the sugar which creates a caramelization and comes in thin slices. The other version is light, chewy, and fluffy due to the incorporation of whipped egg whites. This version is white, thickly sliced, and dotted with nuts. The flavor of each is sugary and nutty with a hint of butter. The difference is the first version has a caramel flavor, and the second variation is simply sweet.

Sweet

Ingredients

sugar

Sugar comes from sugar cane and sugar beets. The sugar is extracted from the juice of both plants and refined into the granulated substance known as sugar. Sucrose, the sweet substance of sugar is a combination of glucose and fructose. White sugar is composed of tiny white, dry granules. The flavor is sweet and neutral. Brown sugar is brown and has more moisture, with a richer flavor that hints at molasses. Sugar is used in both sweet and savory foods.

almond

The almond tree was first cultivated in the Middle East and has since become a crop grown in climates similar to the Mediterranean, around the world. The almond is covered by a hard shell that must be removed before eating. The almond is between 3.5 and 6 centimeter and in an oblong shape with a pointed top. It's skin is brown and ridged. It's meat is white with a dense hardness. It has a mild flavor that is occasionally bitter. Almonds are used in many dishes, from desserts to savory dishes, or eaten as is, coated in salt, sugar, chocolate or any other number of ingredients.

hazelnuts

Hazelnuts are also known as filberts. When roasted, they have a mellow, sweet flavor. They can be eaten whole as a snack, or chopped and added to cakes and baked goods. Ground hazelnuts can be used as a flour.

walnuts

Walnuts are technically a seed and not a nut, but are used as a nut in the culinary world. Walnuts have a hard shell around them and a dry skin that surrounds the nut. The shell and skin are removed and the meat of the nut is eaten. Walnuts are a light brown/tan color and have a wrinkled top divided into two halves and resembles a brain. The flavor is mild with hints of tannins and sweetness. They are a rich and fatty nut which imparts an umami taste.

pistachio

The origin of pistachios is debated, with Central Asia as the most likely spot. The nut is a seed of the pistachio tree and has a hard cream colored shell, that easily cracks open. The nut has a brown skin that covers the pale green meat of pistachio. The nut is hard, but softer than an almond and creamier. The flavor is unique and buttery with a warm nutty taste. Roasted pistachios have a toasted and enhanced flavor.

butter

Butter is made from churned cream, usually from a cow. It has a cream color and a texture that is smooth and melts easily. The flavor is mild, creamy and salty. Butter is often sold in square sticks, or as a flat or round block. It is delicious on bread, in baked goods and makes an excellent cooking fat.
