The best nougat rings

When it comes to nougat, there are always real communication difficulties between the Swiss and the Germans, because in Switzerland, nougat is usually sugar and almonds moulded into thin slabs. In Germany, on the other hand, nougat is a firm nut mixture that is used to enhance many types of pastry. In this case, we’re talking about precisely this type of nougat. We’ve created a delicious shortcrust pastry base for you, topped with exactly this nougat and finished with hazelnut brittle and Kanicker couverture. You simply must give this recipe a go!

Manufacture

Start by making the shortcrust pastry. To do this, beat the granulated sugar with the softened butter until light and fluffy, then add the whole egg and stir it in briefly.

Next, add the salt, vanilla seeds and plain flour. Mix everything together again briefly with a hand mixer, then tip the ‘crumbly’ dough onto your work surface. Now knead everything together into a firm dough, flatten it, wrap it in cling film and then place it in the fridge for an hour. Whilst the dough is chilling, you can get on with preparing the nougat.

Cut thenougat / gianduja, once firm enough to cut, intosmall cubes. Put half of them into abowland carefully melt this portion of nougat in a bain-marie. Once the nougat has melted, remove the bowl from the bain-marie, add the other half of the nougat and stir until it has dissolved. Leave the nougat to stand at room temperature. 

Baking

Preheat the oven to 170 ºC (fan).

Take the chilled shortcrust pastry out of the fridge and roll it out on a floured work surface usingrolling pinsuntil it is 5 mm thick. Cut out circles from the shortcrust pastry using around cutter(9.5 cm | 7.5 cm) and then cut out the centre of each circle using a small cutter (5 cm | 3 cm).  Place the rings on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake them at 170 ºC (fan oven) for approx. 10 to 15 minutes. You can, of course, bake the cut-out centre pieces as well and use them as little Easter nests. Leave the baked rings to cool completely.

Once the shortcrust pastry rings have cooled completely, you can now finish off the biscuits. You can now briefly whip the melted nougat mixture with a hand mixer to make it a little lighter, creamier and easier to pipe. Put the nougat into a piping bag fitted with an 8 mm round nozzle and pipe a ring onto each shortbread ring. Instead of nougat, you can also use ourhazelnutoralmond filling!

Press the assembled ring into a bowl of hazelnut or almond brittle. It will stick perfectly to the nougat mixture. You can then dip the nougat ring once more in tempered couverture or cake glaze. Finally, sprinkle it with a little more brittle or drizzle with another type of couverture or cake glaze.

Just be patient for a moment until the couverture has set, and then you can enjoy this delicious treat!

Storage & Shelf life

The finished nougat rings will keep for about 1 month. They are best stored in a cake box.
