Berry Nougat with Raw Cacao Nibs
This recipe is an old favourite of ours from the raw food cookbook “Rejuvenate Your Life” by Serene Allison, except with a couple of tweaks of my own. I’ve added raw cacao nibs, for a delicious, chocolatey crunch, and I use my homemade nut butter. I make this quite often for snacks, desserts, cake toppings, and even for breakfast… it’s delicious. The amounts can vary to taste, so don’t stress too much about measuring. I make my own nut butter first in the Thermomix – it’s very quick and easy. Otherwise you can use bought almond butter if you like.
You can let the berry nougat thaw a little before eating, or have it still frozen – I like it about halfway in between frozen and thawed, as it’s juicier and has more flavour. You can keep it in the freezer and just thaw it out a little when you want some. It’s delicious on it’s own, or on top of a raw cheesecakeor a chocolate gateau or torte caprese – especially with chocolate drizzled over the top!
Recipe makes a little over 4 cups.

Gorgeous photos Jo! I just want to climb right over the keyboard to get some! (I’ve been experimenting with nougat too, but nothing as fabulous as this…) Way to go!
Thank you! This isn’t really a traditional nougat at all, just a healthy, raw version, but it sure is yummy!! The perfect use for my cacao nibs! Still want to try some chocolate shortbread with cacao nibs too… 🙂
I think this will be on the menu for New Year. Thanks Jo.
You’re welcome! 🙂
Jo what could I use in place of cacao nibs?
Meagan, you could leave them out (it’s still yummy) or maybe try dark chocolate chips. 🙂
This recipe is sooo good. My girls love it when I blend it up with frozen banana – they thought it was pretty special to have ice-cream for breakfast! Also fantastic on pancakes or mixed in yoghurt.
Hmmm, it would be nice on pancakes – didn’t think of that – thanks!! It’s also really yummy with fruity dream made from cherries or strawberries!
The recipe is so good! I love it. I have been making this for like ten times ever since you posted this!
Yum,, I just whipped this up as an afternoon treat – delish!
