hocolate Orange Biscotti - A delicious breakfast treat packed with sweet orange flavor and drizzled with chocolate! Put on a pot of coffee and make some of the best biscotti you've ever tasted
Ingredients
For the Biscotti:
- 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon orange flavoring (extract)
- 1 orange, zested
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
For the Garnish:
- 1 orange zested
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- ¾ cup milk chocolate, melted
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter with sugar until combined, about two minutes. Add in eggs, orange extract, and orange zest.
- Slowly add flour and baking powder.
- The dough will be crumbly. Using your hands, dump dough onto parchment paper, and shape into a 12-inch by 4-inch rectangular log. Pat evenly so it will be about ½ inch high. Using your warm hands you should be able to press dough together smoothly.
- Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and slice biscotti into 16-18 slices. Arrange slices on their sides, leaving a little space between each slice. Return to oven and bake an additional 10 minutes.
- Flip slice to other side. Bake 10 more minutes.
- Remove and cool completely before garnishing.
- In a small bowl, combine the zest of one orange with sugar, using a fork. Drizzle melted chocolate over each biscotti slice and immediately sprinkle with orange sugar. ENJOY.
Notes
- To drizzle chocolate, pour melted chocolate into a small ziploc bag. Snip off the corner and drizzle over biscotti.
- How to store: Cooked and cooled biscotti should be kept in an airtight container at room temperature. If well sealed, it should last up to two weeks.
- How to freeze To freeze biscotti, slide cooked treats into an airtight, freezer safe container (or ziploc bag). Seal and freeze until ready to enjoy. Thaw overnight.
- Serve with hot coffee for dipping. Or make yourself a Mocha Latte for an extra sweet morning!
