Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a bowl over boiling water. When the mixture is thick, remove from the heat and whisk until cold. Mix together Snøfrisk and 1 dl of the cream in a food processor. Whip the rest of the cream by hand. Put the whipped Snøfrisk cream into the egg yolks and mix gently. Add the rest of the whipped cream and gently mix. Add the nougat.
