1. Make the Nougat
In a bowl, beat butter, sugar-free syrup, powdered sweetener, vanilla, and salt until light and fluffy (~2 mins).
Stir in shredded coconut until fully combined.
Press mixture firmly into a parchment-lined 8×4-inch loaf pan (or small square dish). Smooth the top.
2. Chill to Set
Refrigerate at least 1 hour (or freeze 30 minutes) until firm.
3. Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt sugar-free chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
4. Coat & Slice
Lift nougat slab out of pan. Cut into 12–16 rectangles.
Dip each piece halfway (or fully) into melted chocolate. Place on parchment paper.
Optional: Drizzle extra chocolate on top for a “bar” look.
5. Set & Store
Let chocolate harden at room temp or refrigerate 10 minutes.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 2 weeks, or freezer up to 2 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Nut-free?
A: Yes! This version uses unsweetened shredded coconut (a fruit, not a nut)—but always check for cross-contamination if allergies are severe.
Q: Can I use almond flour instead?
A: Yes—for a richer, nuttier nougat. Use ½ cup finely ground blanched almond flour.
Q: No sugar-free chocolate?
A: Make your own: Melt ½ cup cocoa butter + ¼ cup cocoa powder + 2–3 tbsp powdered allulose + pinch of salt.
Q: Too soft?
A: Add 1–2 tbsp unflavored gelatin (bloomed in cold water, then warmed) to the nougat for extra structure.
