Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 140°C.
  • Mix strawberries and honey, then dry on a wire rack in the oven for four hours until soft.
  • Reserve some strawberries for garnish and blend the rest with sugar to taste for a smooth sauce.
  • Melt sugar in a pan until golden-brown, then stir in hazelnuts and cook for two minutes.
  • Cool the hazelnut mixture on greaseproof paper and break into small pieces.
  • Whisk egg whites and sugar in a bowl over simmering water until frothy and dissolved.
  • Remove from heat and whisk until cool and firm peaks form.
  • Fold in hazelnuts, strawberries, vanilla, and whipped cream, then spoon into oiled moulds and freeze overnight.
  • Turn out the nougat onto plates and serve drizzled with the strawberry sauce.
