Birthday Cake Biscotti Recipe

Birthday Cake Biscotti makes a perfect breakfast for your loved one’s special day. These crunchy biscotti are filled with colorful sprinkles and dipped in white chocolate with extra sprinkles on top!

Funfetti Biscotti for Breakfast

Today’s biscotti is also inspired by cake: Birthday Cake!

I love a piece of biscotti for breakfast, so why not make a batch filled with sprinkles and delicious cake flavor.

• Birthday Cake Biscotti have a buttery flavor with the perfect amount of sweetness.
• They taste like just like funfetti cake baked into crisp crunchy breakfast cookies.
• Serve them for a birthday breakfast, dessert or afternoon treat.
• Delicious with a cup of hot coffee for dunking!

Important Ingredients

This biscotti dough starts with a simple mixture of butter, sugar, eggs and flour. Give it a cake batter twist with these other additions:

• Butter flavoring – This extract gives the biscotti an even richer, more buttery flavor.
• Sprinkles – We used rainbow sprinkles for a festive look! Jimmies sprinkles or round “confetti” sprinkles are perfect.
• White chocolate wafers – Ghirardelli brand is best. The wafers melt smoothly and set up beautifully on the biscotti.

How to Make Birthday Biscotti

Making Birthday Cake Biscotti is easier than you might think.

• Mix together the dough ingredients and fold in half of the sprinkles. Shape the dough into two logs and bake for about 25 minutes.
• Now, cut the dough into slices and bake again until golden brown on both sides.
• Dip the tops of cooled biscotti in melted white chocolate. Immediately add the remaining sprinkles on top.

Let the chocolate set for a few minutes, then eat and enjoy!
