How to Make Dark Chocolate Walnut Biscotti
Biscotti is a cookie that is twice baked. The first step to making biscotti is to mix all of the ingredients together. The easiest way, since its a thick batter, is to use a stand mixer. Simply put all of the ingredients in the mixer with the paddle attachment and mix until combined. If you don’t have a stand mixer, use a spatula or your hands to combine the batter.
Next, move the batter onto a parchment lined sheet pan and shape into a loaf. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until lightly golden. Once it is removed from the oven move to a cutting board and let cool.
Once the biscotti is cooled completely, slice into 1/2 inch thick slices and place back on the baking sheet with parchment paper. Return to the oven at 350 degrees for 8-12 minutes or until slightly crispy on the top. Finally, let cool and store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Frequently Asked Questions
If you have a nut allergy or will be serving these to someone with an allergy, cut out the nuts and add extra chocolate or dried fruit in place of the nuts.
Of course! Try semi sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips or even white chocolate chips.
Store biscotti at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 10 days.
