Coconut and white chocolate vegan nougat
* Plus 9 hours of rest and refrigeration
As we discussed in the recipe of Vegan Cream and Walnut Nougat when we talked about the history of nougat, it comes from the Arabian Peninsula, but since its arrival in the Mediterranean, many versions and varieties have appeared, among which we find this delight of coconut, to which we have added a sweet coating of entirely plant-based white chocolate.
In this way, we obtain as a result a kind of white chocolate bonbon with a soft, sweet coconut center that, even breaking with the traditional concept of nougat, delights those with a sweet tooth.
This nougat is, thanks to coconut, rich in carbohydrates that provide us with energy, fiber, vitamins of group B (B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6), potassium, phosphorus, selenium and chromium, as well as a small amount of proteins.

- Step 1First of all we prepare a dense syrup. For this, we will heat the sugar and water in a saucepan for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking. After this time, we remove it from the fire and let it cool.
- Step 2Put the grated coconut in a bowl, add the syrup and mix well to obtain a moist dough. We pass it to a mold and let it rest for 5 hours in the fridge. After this time, we take it out of the fridge and unmold it very carefully.
- Step 3Chop one of the white chocolate tablets, put it in a cup and put it in the microwave at full power for 1 minute (a little more if you see that it is not enough to melt it).
- Step 4Place the nougat on a grid, mix the chocolate with the oil if we want it more unctuous, and cover the nougat with the melted chocolate, making sure it is well covered, including the edges. We let it cool in the fridge for 2 hours so that it solidifies well.
- Step 5Chop the other chocolate tablet, melt it in the same way as the other and, placing the nougat on the grid again, pour the chocolate on the other side so that there is a consistent and uniform coverage. We let it sit in the fridge for another 2 hours.
- Step 6After this time, the nougat will be ready to take it out of the fridge and serve it.
