Mocha Almond Biscotti With Chocolate Drizzle image

This was the first biscotti recipe I ever made and I was amazed at how easy it was to get great results! The chocolate drizzle makes these fancy enough for gift giving too. From Gold Medal's Holiday Cookies and Cakes (#33).

Time 1h20m

Yield 36-42 biscotti

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons instant espresso or 2 tablespoons instant coffee crystals
2 teaspoons hot water
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 ounces semisweet baking chocolate, grated (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted and chopped
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 ounces semisweet baking chocolate
1/2 teaspoon shortening

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • Dissolve coffee crystals in the hot water.
  • Beat butter, sugar, vanilla, eggs and coffee in a large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with a spoon.
  • Stir in remaining ingredients.
  • On an ungreased cookie sheet or parchment paper, shape the dough into two 10x3 rectangles (each should be about 3/4 to 1 inch thick).
  • Bake about 30 minutes or until center is firm to the touch.
  • Cool 15 minutes on the cookie sheet.
  • Cut crosswise into 1/2 inch thick slices.
  • Place slices cut side down, in rows on a cookie sheet. (can be touching to fit them all on the sheet).
  • Bake 7-8 minutes, then flip them over and bake another 7-8 minutes. The edges should be light brown and the biscotti should be crisp when done.
  • Immediately remove from cookie sheet to a wire rack.
  • When completely cool, melt the chocolate and shortening together (either in the microwave (but be careful not to over heat it or it will scorch) or in a heat-safe bowl over a pot of boiling water (for a quasi double-boiler)).
  • Drizzle the chocolate over the biscotti using a spoon.
  • When cool, enjoy with a cup of coffee.

I'm not a big fan of biscotti, but these are the exception. They're so light and flavorful. The mocha and almond flavors are perfect together, and the chocolate drizzle adds a nice touch of sweetness.

I had some trouble getting the biscotti to slice evenly. They kept crumbling. I'm not sure what I did wrong. Other than that, they were delicious.

These biscotti were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time. Otherwise, they were delicious. I loved the mocha and almond flavors.

These biscotti are so easy to make, and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can customize them with different flavors and toppings. The chocolate drizzle is my favorite, but I've also tried them with white chocolate, nuts, and dried fruit.
