3.Stir with a rubber spatula until chocolate is smooth, there are no chunks remaining and temperature is between 88-92ºF.
4.Once proper temperature is reached transfer chocolate to a pastry or plastic bag, remove a corner so that chocolate can be “piped,” fill half of the silicone mold wells with chocolate, and allow to “set” until firm for ~5 minutes.
5.While allowing chocolate to set whip egg whites until frothy, then add cocoa powder, xantham gum, and powdered erythritol; whip to stiff peaks. Transfer to a pastry or plastic bag and pipe a pea sized dollop on top of chocolate, place silicone mold in the freezer and allow nougat to freeze for 15 minutes.
6.Remove silicone mold from freezer, place pastry bag in the microwave for 30-60 seconds to soften chocolate, pipe remaining chocolate around nougat and place silicone mold in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to set chocolate.
