Nougat is a type of confectionery that originated in France. It is made from a mixture of sugar, egg whites, and nuts, typically almonds or hazelnuts. The ingredients are whipped together until they form a stiff, white meringue-like consistency, which is then spread into a tray and left to set. Once set, the nougat is cut into small pieces and often used as a filling for chocolates or other sweets. Nougat has a chewy texture and a sweet, nutty flavor, with the taste of the nuts being the most prominent. It is a popular ingredient in many desserts and snacks, and is often associated with French and Italian cuisine.
