Recipe of Nougat and chocolate arm

The nougat and chocolate arm is a light, sugar-free version of the classic Swiss roll, ideal for those looking for a festive dessert without guilt. This turron recipe combines a fluffy cocoa and spelt flour sponge with a creamy filling of cream cheese and sugar-free soft nougat, achieving a perfect balance between the intense flavor of chocolate and the smoothness of nougat. Its origin is inspired by Spanish Christmas tradition, but it adapts to a healthy lifestyle thanks to the use of erythritol as a natural sweetener and coconut oil instead of butter.

This preparation is surprisingly easy, with a low difficulty level, and the result is an elegant dessert that will impress your guests. Additionally, it is a versatile option: you can substitute soft nougat with crushed hard nougat for a crunchy touch, or add chopped nuts to the filling. The sponge, baked in just 12 minutes, is rolled with the help of a cloth to achieve that characteristic shape, and the filling is spread gently before rolling again. Perfect for celebrations, special snacks, or as a sweet indulgence any time of the year.
