175 g	almond torrone, cut into small pieces and coarsely ground in a food processor
6 large	eggs, yolks only, but reserve 4 whites for use below
6 tbsp	caster sugar
500 ml	double cream
60 g	dark, high cocoa content chocolate, finely chopped
1 tbsp	Amaretto or light rum

Instructions

Whisk the yolks and sugar until light and fluffy.

In a separate bowl, whisk the cream until stiff. Add the chocolate, spirit, and about 80& of the nougat and beat together thoroughly.

Whisk the whites in a clean bowl until stiff and fold into the mixture.

Lightly spray the inside of a 1.5-2 litre boil with cooking spray and coat it with the remaining nougat. Gently pour the mixture into the bowl. Cover tightly with cling film and freeze overnight.

Remove from freezer when ready to serve. Immerse in warm water for a few seconds to loosen it. Cover with a serving plate and invert the two as one, shaking gently to ensure that the dessert is on the plate. Cut into wedges to serve.
