ESPRESSO CHOCOLATE CHIP BISCOTTI



Espresso Chocolate Chip Biscotti image

These crisp, chocolate-studded biscotti are good the day you bake them, but they taste even better the next day. For a double coffee hit, serve with a coffee affogato, coffee ice cream or a shot of anise liqueur, like Sambuca.

Time 2h20m

Yield 22 to 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup turbinado sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
1 1/2 tablespoons espresso powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon anise seed, lightly crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup mini dark chocolate chunks (4 1/2 ounces)
3 large eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the top third of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Mix together the flour, sugars, espresso powder, baking soda, anise seed, salt and chocolate chunks in a large bowl. Add the beaten eggs and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough starts to come together (it will be fairly dry before you knead it). Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough, squeezing it and pressing it against the surface, until you can form it into a ball, 15 to 20 times. Shape the dough into a flat log about 16 inches long and 2 inches wide. Cut the log in half crosswise. Brush the tops with a little bit of water and sprinkle the top and sides with some turbinado sugar.
  • Place the logs side by side on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
  • Transfer the logs to a cutting board and cut diagonally with a serrated knife into 1/2-inch slices. Place the cookies cut-side up on a baking sheet and bake until golden, about 10 minutes. Turn the cookies over and bake until golden on the other side, 8 to 10 more minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. The centers will be slightly soft at first, but will crisp up as they cool.

CHOCOLATE-ESPRESSO-PISTACHIO BISCOTTI



Chocolate-Espresso-Pistachio Biscotti image

I had some pistachios in the freezer that I needed to use up and I developed this recipe. I think it came out quite nicely, not too sweet. Hazelnuts or almonds can be substituted for the pistachios (make sure to toast them first). Let me know what you think!

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 40 biscotti

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 1/2 cups flour, plus up to
2 tablespoons more flour
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon clove
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
3 teaspoons espresso powder (I use Nescafe)
1/3 cup water
3 large eggs
1/2 cup olive oil
1 1/2-2 cups pistachios

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease a large rectangular baking pan with a light coating of olive oil.
  • Sift all dry ingredients together.
  • In small bowl, dissolve espresso powder in 1/3 cup water.
  • Add eggs and olive oil and beat with a whisk until well-combined.
  • Pour wet ingredients into dry, add pistachios and (yes, I do this by hand) start mixing the flour gently into the liquids until all the ingredients have been incorporated and you have a malleable dough.
  • If the dough is a bit sticky, sprinkle over 1 tablespoonful of flour and turn dough into the flour to coat.
  • Knead the flour in.
  • The dough should now be malleable without being sticky.
  • If it is still sticky, repeat with another tablespoonful of flour.
  • Cut dough into 3 equal pieces and shape into logs that are about 12 inches long and 2 ½ inches wide (every person’s logs are slightly different – they will spread while baking so have a good distance between them).
  • Bake for 30 minutes.
  • The biscotti will have risen only slightly, spread out some, and have a cracked surface.
  • Cool completely.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  • With a serrated bread knife and a straight, downwards motion, cut biscotti at just under ½ inch intervals on the diagonal.
  • (this will leave you with 6 not-so-nice-looking end pieces that you can munch on there and then) Place the pieces, cut side down, back in the baking pan.
  • Not all the pieces may fit, in which case you’ll have to bake a second pan's worth after the first.
  • Staggering two pans is not suggested unless you have a convection oven and can use that feature to make sure there is even heat distributed within the oven.
  • Bake 15 minutes, turn pieces over, bake 15 minutes longer.
  • Cool completely and keep in an airtight container.

Espresso & dark chocolate biscotti image

Treat yourself to these moreish biscotti or box up as a gift. This twist adds espresso to the mix, enhancing the creamy richness of the chocolate

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

300g plain flour
100g caster sugar
50g light brown soft sugar
1½ tsp baking powder
80g vegetable oil
1 large egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
2½ tbsp instant coffee granules, dissolved in 3 tbsp hot water and cooled
250g dark chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4, and line a baking tray with baking parchment. Set aside. Put the flour, sugars, baking powder and a good pinch of salt into a large bowl, then stir to combine.
  • Whisk the oil, egg, vanilla extract and coffee together in a separate small bowl. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry, mixing until you have a dry dough. Fold in 100g of the chocolate chips. Knead the dough until smooth - it will be quite dry, but if it's too difficult to knead, add another 1 tbsp water. Divide the dough in half, shaping each piece into a 25 x 8cm log, and transfer both to the prepared tray. Bake for 25-30 mins, then leave to cool on the tray for 15 mins.
  • Reduce the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Slice the biscotti logs into 1-2cm-thick slices crosswise using a sharp knife, you should have about 16. Return to the tray and bake for 15-20 mins more, turning the tray around halfway through. Leave to cool slightly on the tray, then transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool completely. Melt the remaining chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second bursts until smooth, or in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, then dip one end of the cooled biscotti into the melted chocolate. Transfer to a sheet of baking parchment and leave to set. Will keep in an airtight container for up to five days.

CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO OR CINNAMON BISCOTTI WITH WALNUTS



CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO OR CINNAMON BISCOTTI WITH WALNUTS image

Categories     Cookies     Chocolate     Bake

Yield 24 to 30 biscotti

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 package (19.8 ounces) fudge brownie mix
3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons instant espresso granules (or instant coffee or 1/4 tsp cinnamon)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Toppings of your choice:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup white or semisweet chocolate chips, melted

Steps:

  • 1. Place a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12- by 18-inch baking sheet with parchment paper or mist with nonstick cooking spray. Set the pan aside. 2. Place the brownie mix, walnuts, espresso granules, flour, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl, and stir to combine. Make a well in the center and add the oil, eggs, and vanilla. With a wooden spoon stir together the liquid ingredients and gradually stir the dry into the wet. Stir until the batter is well combined. The dough will become very stiff, and you may need to use your hands to combine it. Divide the dough into thirds. 3. With your hands, shape each third of dough into an 8-inch log. Place each log on the baking sheet and flatten them into rectangular loaves about 2 1/2 inches wide. The loaves need to be 2 to 3 inches apart on the pan. Place the pan in the oven. Bake until the biscotti loaves are almost done but still soft, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and let the loaves cool on the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer them with a metal spatula to a cutting board and cut diagonally with a bread knife into 3/4-inch slices. Turn the slices cut side down on the baking pan and return the pan to the oven to bake 8 to 10 minutes longer, or until crisp. 4. Remove the pan from the oven, and transfer the biscotti to wire racks to cool, 20 minutes. You may serve them as is, or dust them with confectioners' sugar (place the sugar in a large zipper-lock bag, add a few biscotti at a time, shake, then remove). Or you may dip an end of each biscotti into melted chocolate, or drizzle melted chocolate over the tops of biscotti.

Time 1h10m

Yield about 48 Biscotti.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups almonds (6 ounces)
6 tablespoons espresso coffee beans
1 cup sugar
