Description
What’s better than espresso? Espresso with biscotti, of course! These two have been a dynamic duo since the Italians decided dessert and coffee should be best friends.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs, room temperature (divided)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 Tbsp espresso powder or instant coffee
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 2 (4-oz.) 60% bittersweet chocolate bars, chopped
- 2 oz white chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F/180C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed for 3–4 minutes.
- Scrape down the sides, then add 2 eggs (one at a time) and the vanilla. Beat on medium until smooth, about 1–2 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture on low speed until just combined.
- Lightly flour your work surface and divide the dough into two portions.
- Shape each into an 8×4½-inch rectangle (about ½ inch thick) on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with a lightly beaten egg.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until lightly browned.
- Let the biscotti cool for 15 minutes or until you can handle them. Keep the oven on.
- Slice each slab into ¾-inch pieces.
- Lay the slices, cut side up, on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes, flip, and bake another 10 minutes until golden and crisp. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- Melt the bittersweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% power, stirring every 15 seconds (1–2 minutes).
- Dip one end of each biscotti into the chocolate and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Melt the white chocolate similarly and spoon it into a zip-top bag.
- Snip off a small corner and drizzle over the dipped ends.
- Let the chocolate set for at least an hour.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
