The name of this cookie that is log-shaped is usually translated as nougat, but this is a reference to its nutty flavor rather than its texture. Serve this Italian specialty in thin slices. The mixture can be shaped into a simple round roll instead of the triangular shape, if you prefer.<\/span><\/p>\n Ingredients:<\/b> (Makes 20)<\/span><\/p>\n For the coating:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Method:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Melt the chocolate with the butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of hot water, stirring until the mixture is smooth. In a clean, grease-free bowl, whisk the egg white with the sugar until stiff. Gradually beat in the melted chocolate, then stir in the ground almonds, chopped toasted almonds and candied peel.<\/span><\/p>\n Tip the mixture on to a large sheet of baking parchment and using your hands, shape it into a thick roll.<\/span><\/p>\n As the mixture cools, use the baking parchment to press the roll firmly into a triangular shape. Twist the baking parchment over the triangular roll and chill in the refrigerator until completely set.<\/span><\/p>\n To make the coating, melt the white chocolate with the butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of hot water. Unwrap the chocolate roll and spread the white chocolate quickly over the surface. Press the almonds in a thin even coating over the chocolate, working quickly. Chill again until firm, then cut the torrone into thin slices to serve.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The name of this cookie that is log-shaped is usually translated as nougat, but this is a reference to its nutty flavor rather than its texture.
