    What is Biscotti

    Biscotti is an Italian cookie. It is slightly different from the traditional cookie. We bake it twice and hence it is crisp and crunchy. We consume it by dipping it in any drink like Chai or Milk.

    Mocha Chocolate Biscotti

    Mocha Chocolate Biscotti is a coffee and chocolate Flavoured Biscotti. Perfect for the winter evenings with some hot drink. Dunk a piece of warm biscotti with a hot drink and a book will be an ideal way on a cold winter evening.

    For bonus yumminess, chocolate chips and nuts are in. This is definitely a treat!!

    Ingredients for Mocha Chocolate Biscotti

    Whole Wheat Flour

    We can definitely bake the biscotti with All-purpose flour or part and part wheat and APF. But it turned great with Wheat flour itself. I always try to avoid APF in my bakes and this is a perfect one.

    Egg

    The egg acts as a great binding agent and it provides a wonderful texture to the biscotti. But if you want to skip Egg you can add a Flaxseed meal. Mix 1 tbsp of the ground and powdered Flax seeds with 3 tbsp of water. Let it sit for 15 mins. It will bloom up and thicken. Add this as an egg replacement.

    Instant Coffee Powder

    Coffee with chocolate gives a wonderful taste. In fact, coffee brings up the chocolate flavor. Use any strong-flavored Instant coffee powder.

    Jaggery Powder

    I am using Jaggery powder as a sweetener you can definitely use white or brown sugar. I recommend using brown or raw sugar as it gives a beautiful color to the biscotti.

    Nuts

    Nuts give a nice crunch. I have slightly crushed Almond and pistachios together in mortar and pestle and used it. You can use any nuts of your choice. Or you can also skip it.

    Chocolate Chips

    It's the star ingredient you any good quality mini chocolate chips. You can use it more if you like.

    FAQS on Biscotti

    Why is biscotti so hard?

    Usually, we bake the biscotti twice. Its texture is dry and hard. If is too hard perhaps they are over-baked. So watch the time while baking the biscotti.

    Why do biscotti crack?

    Th top of the biscotti might crack and split if the biscotti is soft and under baked. So bake it for a slightly more time and then slice them.

    Why are my biscotti soft?

    If the biscotti are soft then perhaps they are under baked. So make sure you bake the biscotti until they are firm in the first round. After which we slice and bake them again. If they are soft the biscotti may fall apart while we slice after the first baking.

    Should you dunk biscotti?

    Since the biscotti is dry. Traditionally it is dipped in a drink and consumed. You can also consume it without a drank Individual choice matters.

    Storing Suggestions

    • Let the biscotti cool completely and then store in an airtight container.
    • It stays good for a week at room temperature.
    • You can also freeze the biscotti dough for up to 2 months and use whenever necessary.

    Variations

    • You can spice the biscotti with Nutmeg powder and Ginger powder
    • You can also add white chocolate chips. It gives a nice look to the biscotti.
    • Try adding little orange juice and orange zest. It makes an exotic orange chocolate biscotti. The same applies to lemons as well.
    • You can also flavor it with butterscotch or coconut flakes.
