Ingredients
  

Egg White Meringue

  • 60 grams egg whites (2 egg whites)
  • 100 grams corn syrup

Syrup Slurry

  • 580 grams Sugar
  • 250 grams corn syrup
  • 180 grams Water

Graining Agents & Fats & Flavors

  • 170 grams powdered sugar
  • 50 grams coconut oil
  • 10 grams vanilla extract
  • 300 grams dried blueberries
  • 10 grams blueberry flavor

Instructions
 

Set up and Egg White Meringue

  • Prepare a 9 x 13" pan with lightly oiled parchment paper. Set aside
  • Weigh out powdered sugar, coconut oil, and vanilla. Set aside.
  • In a 5 quart planetary mixing bowl, combine corn syrup and egg whites.  Mix on low for 20 seconds to combine the corn syrup and egg whites.  Turn off mixer.

Syrup Slurry

  • In a heavy duty, thick bottomed pot, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Turn heat to medium and begin stirring.  You will stir this whole time.
  • When syrup reaches 234F, turn your mixer speed to high. Continue to cook and stir your syrup as the egg white meringue whips.
  • Cook syrup mixture into 260F.  Turn off heat. Leave the 5 quart mixer on high.
  • With the egg whites whipping, slowly stream syrup slurry into the egg whites.  You need to do this slowly so it does not collapse the meringue.
  • Once all of the syrup has been incorporated, mix on high for four additional minutes.
  • Turn mixer to low.

Fats, Finishers, Flavors

  • Add in powdered sugar. Add in liquid coconut oil and vanilla. Mix for 30 seconds. Turn mixer to high for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Turn mixer to low and add in dried fruit.
  • Pour on prepared parchment. Top with an additional sheet of lightly oiled parchment paper, smoothing out the nougat underneath.
  • Let nougat sit for 12 hours before using further. Cut nougat into desired size and wrap in parchment paper, wax, or cello candy wrappers.
