Instructions

Prepare the Whipped Cream:
1. In a cold bowl, pour the heavy cream. Add the powdered sugar (if using).
2. Whip the cream with electric beaters until you achieve a soft and firm consistency. Be careful not to overwhip, as it may turn buttery.

Prepare the Nougat:
3. Cut the CROCCANTE NERO Dark Chocolate Crunchy Nougat into pieces or cubes of your preferred size. If the nougat is very hard, you can slightly warm it to make it easier to cut.

Assemble the Dessert:
4. Arrange the nougat pieces on a serving platter or individual plates.
5. Top each piece of nougat with a dollop of whipped cream. You can use a piping bag for a more elegant presentation or simply use a spoon.

Pairing with Wine:
6. Pour the Mervujshal wine into small glasses or goblets. Serve it chilled or at room temperature, according to your preference.

Decoration (Optional):
7. Dust a little cocoa powder over the whipped cream for an elegant touch.
8. Add some shaved dark chocolate on top of the whipped cream to enhance the chocolate flavor.
9. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a touch of freshness and color.

Serving:
10. Serve the nougat with whipped cream alongside the Mervujshal wine. This dessert is perfect for concluding a meal in a refined and satisfying manner.

Tasting Experience:
For chocolate-dipped almond nougat, the ideal pairing is a sweet, aromatic red wine, such as Mervujshal. This wine, with its structure and aromatic notes, is perfect for complementing the richness of the dark chocolate and the crunchiness of the almonds. The sweetness and complexity of Mervujshal blend beautifully with the intense flavors of the nougat, creating a sublime balance and a enveloping tasting experience.
