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.)

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

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.

Do not refrigerate. These will keep for several weeks.
