Italian torrone candy made by Chef John is a chewy nougat studded with roasted pistachios and almonds made with honey, sugar, and whipped egg whites.

Torrone is a light, lemony Italian nougat full of crunchy nuts. This torrone recipe makes the perfect holiday food gift.

Sicilian in origin, this pretty confection was inspired by our colleague Lydia, who prepares nougat every year based on an old family recipe. Our version is a tribute to pistachios, whose delicate flavour works wonderfully in all manner of sweet treats. A lot of commercially made nougats have a powdery texture; we tested our recipe until we achieved the perfect balance—not too dry, not too sticky. Irresistible!
