Procedure for making the semispheres of chocolate nougat
If you don't have silicone hemispheres, you can use a plastic mold (or alternatively a disposable aluminum container for plumcake) the cardboard one for plumcake is fine too. Melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie, pour it into the mold and, by swirling it, coat the walls evenly (you can help yourself using a brush).
Collect some to cover the top of the nougat.
Melt the white chocolate in a bain-marie and mix it with the white hazelnut cream. Incorporate half of the whole hazelnuts and pour into the mold; do the same with milk chocolate. Place in the fridge for an hour.
Finally, cover the surface, which will be the base of the nougat, with the dark chocolate. Put it back in the fridge for a few hours. Remove from the mold and serve cut into large slices.
