Ingredients for Strawberry Marshmallow Nougat: Butter 40g, Coconut Oil 10g, Milk Powder 75g, Marshmallows 200g, Crushed Peanuts 160g, Black Sesame Seeds 40g, Salt 1g, Freeze-Dried Strawberry Dices 40g.
Method for Strawberry Marshmallow Nougat:
Step 1: Place butter and coconut oil in a non-stick pan.
Step 2: Cook over an induction cooker at 400 power until the butter melts.
Step 3: Add marshmallows and stir slowly.
Step 4: Once the marshmallows form a mass, turn off the heat.
Step 5: Mix the butter in the pan until it is well combined.
Step 6: Add milk powder and salt, mix evenly.
Step 7: Add crushed peanuts and black sesame seeds, mix well.
Step 8: Remove the pan from the induction cooker to cool down, and wear disposable gloves to stretch and mix evenly.
Step 9: Finally, add freeze-dried strawberry dices, mix and stretch until well combined. Note: Freeze-dried ingredients should be added last when the mixture is not too hot, otherwise, they will become soft and lose their crispiness! They should not be added when the mixture is cold either, as they won’t blend in. Haha! Just make sure it’s not too hot to handle.
Step 10: Place the mixture into a mold.
Step 11: Press down to flatten and make it thinner, which will result in smaller pieces when cutting. A large mold may not fit into the nougat bag.
Step 12: Once cooled, cut into pieces, aren’t they beautiful?
Step 13: They look like little plum blossoms, truly lovely!
Step 14: Package them nicely, ready for gifting during the New Year!
Step 15: Place them in gift bags for a high-end feel! (Two batches of nougat, approximately 100 pieces, can fill 3-4 gift bags).
Step 16: This version is made with 5g of cactus fruit powder, giving it a slightly variegated color, but I think the original color is prettier. Haha!
Cooking Tips for Strawberry Marshmallow Nougat: If you prefer a colored nougat, you can add 5g of vegetable or fruit powder for coloring, such as cactus fruit powder for pink or barley grass powder or matcha powder for green.
