Almond-Pistachio Nougatine
A delicate French-style candy made with caramelized sugar, corn syrup, and a mix of toasted almonds and pistachios. This crispy, golden nougatine can be broken into elegant shards for a sophisticated sweet treat.
Ingredients
- •¾ cup sugar
- •⅓ cup light corn syrup
- •⅞ cup sliced almonds
- •⅓ cup chopped pistachios
- •2 tbsp unsalted butter
Cooking Instructions
- 1.
Put the sugar and corn syrup in a medium saucepan and make a light caramel: Place saucepan over medium heat. The sugar will melt and start to caramelize. When the mixture is pale brown, add the almonds, pistachios, and butter. Mix well to coat the nuts in the caramel and toast them lightly.

Working quickly, turn the mixture out onto a sheet of parchment paper or onto a silicone mat. Place a second sheet or mat on top, then roll out the nougatine very thinly with a rolling pin. To finish, cut out the desired shapes using a knife or a pair of scissors. If the nougatine hardens too much to cut, reheat it in a 275°F oven for 4 to 5 minutes to soften it a little. (Store in an airtight container, away from moisture, for up to 1 month.)
