Summer Dessert Perfection in a Frozen Nougat with Nuts
This year, we’ve introduced a new dessert class around oh so familiar ingredients and recipes of the south of France, most notably of Provence. In this class, you’ll prepare five (5) desserts individual portions and a large family-style sweet.
One dessert that we absolutely love is this frozen nougat with almonds, hazelnuts and pistachio. A great dessert that can even be made in advance (even by several months), if well wrapped. Make it as an individual dessert or as a terrine. The perfect union between the classic nougat and ice cream – how could you not love it?
