Nutty Biscotti

February 7, 2008

After a friend suggested this recipe to me I knew I just had to make some Cranberry Pistachio Biscottis and more so after the excellent ratings the recipe earned itself at Allrecipes. I made these today morning, and I was quite happy with the results. My health conscious mom couldn’t be happier when she learnt that these were made with olive oil! And did you know, biscotti means twice cooked?

You can have a look at the recipe here.

The dough was too sticky to handle, so I used a few more spoonfuls of flour. Also, I piped a mixture of dark chocolate and Nutella over it after it was done. What I’d do differently the next time is cut down the almond essence; 2 teaspoons make the flavour very overpowering.

Quite a good recipe. I will definitely try it again with different combinations of nuts. You should too! :)
