FANTASTIC DOUBLE CHOCOLATE-PECAN BISCOTTI



Fantastic Double Chocolate-Pecan Biscotti image

Since biscotti is a huge favorite at my house I am always searching for good biscotti recipes, this one is fantastic! --- if you make biscotti and love chocolate, then this is a recipe you should try! --- since the batter is quite stiff this dough is best prepared on a heavy-duty stand mixer, the recipe can be completely doubled to make four logs, they will keep tightly covered at room temperature for one week, or frozen for one month, feel free to use any other chopped nuts that you desired, walnuts work great with this also :)

(CHOCOLATE) CHERRY PECAN BISCOTTI



(Chocolate) Cherry Pecan Biscotti image

Everybody I've ever made these for have loved them. I've made them with marshmellows before too... but that didn't really work out too well hehehe. In the picture the lighter biscottis don't have the cocoa powder in them and the darker ones do. (I like them without cocoa better but that's just me.)

Time 5h

Yield 50

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup white sugar
½ cup ricotta cheese
¼ cup unsalted butter
2 eggs
⅓ cup milk, scalded and cooled
¼ cup chocolate hazelnut spread
½ cup chopped pecans
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
¾ cup heavy cream
9 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Place the yeast, instant coffee, cocoa, four, sugar, ricotta cheese, butter, eggs, milk and chocolate hazelnut spread into the bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Set the machine for DOUGH and press the START button. At the beep- or at the end of the second knead, add the chocolate chips and pecans.
  • Grease a large baking sheet. Form the dough into two thick logs about 3 1/2 inches wide and 12 inches long. Cover and let rise until double, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake biscotti for 40 to 45 minutes, until edges begin to brown. Cool on wire racks. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the logs into 1/2 inch wide slices. Lay the slices cut side down on the baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes, turn and bake 5 minutes more, until dry. Do not brown.
  • When the biscotti are completely cool, make the chocolate dip. In a small saucepan, heat cream until scalding hot but not boiling. Remove from heat and stir in the semisweet chocolate until smooth. Allow to cool slightly. Dip biscotti halfway into the chocolate and set onto waxed paper to dry. Store in an airtight container. Do not refrigerate. These will keep for several weeks.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your biscotti. Use the best chocolate, pecans, and butter that you can find.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the biscotti tough. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help it hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the biscotti twice: Baking the biscotti twice will help them dry out and become crispy.
  • Let the biscotti cool completely before slicing: Slicing the biscotti while they are still warm will cause them to crumble.

Conclusion:

Chocolate pecan biscotti are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are crispy, chewy, and full of chocolate and pecan flavor. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can enjoy these delicious biscotti at home. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give chocolate pecan biscotti a try!
