Iced nougat recipe with raspberry coulis

A traditional dessert in the south of France for the holidays, here is my recipe for frozen nougat with its raspberry coulis.

It’s almost 15 years since I moved to Switzerland. It’s starting to take a long time. I am not yet that old and I still remember the Christmas holidays in the south of France.

It was strange never to see snow, not even on the mountains in the distance. Sometimes when we were lucky we could spot a soft white coat in our garden and had to rush outside before it melted around noon.

To make a snowman with a thin layer of a few centimeters is impossible, to see a miracle, but it was our own little miracle and we had a lot of fun.

Usually no snow here, but a plethora of seafood, foie gras, and often a frozen nougat for the end of year celebrations. And you, do you have snow in your area?

To be honest, little one, although I really liked the ice cream and the raspberry coulis, I was not a big fan of dried fruits and nuts, they were too crunchy. But now I’m grown up and I’m crazy about it.

It’s a nice idea for the holidays because it’s not too complicated to do, and especially since it can be prepared in advance.
