Let’s talk INGREDIENTS to make an Easy Chocolate Biscotti Recipe with hazelnuts
Hazelnuts
Firstly, this Biscotti is loaded with nuts. This time we’ve used hazelnuts. Additionally, they compliment chocolate so well. Next, I always roast my hazelnuts before adding them to the dough. As a result, this brings out the flavor of the nuts. Roast the nuts of medium heat in a pan for 20 mins. You can even toast them in the oven at 180 degrees C for 10-15 mins before you make the Chocolate Nut Biscotti
Chocolate & Cocoa Powder
Yes… Unlike a lot of chocolate biscotti recipes, we going to be using chopped chocolate and not just cocoa powder. The type of chocolate & cocoa powder you add definitely influences how these biscotti’s turn out. Note, I’ve used dark chocolate & unsweetened cocoa powder for this recipe. Stick on to these 2 to get that extra chocolate flavor in your biscotti’s
Brown Sugar
Next, I like to use brown sugar for this particular Chocolate-Nut Biscotti recipe. The texture & flavor is simply different. In case you do not get brown sugar easily you can substitute it with white sugar.
Tips for baking Biscotti
Firstly, Biscotti’s need to be baked really well to get that crispy texture. So after baking the log shaped biscotti we cut them into pieces and bake each side of the piece for 15 mins each. In case, you like it not so firm you can reduce the baking process of each side of the piece to 8-10 mins. As a result, these Chocolate-Nut biscotti won’t be as firm as they normally are.
