Chocolate Coconut Biscotti Recipe Recipe For Lasagna

COCONUT WALNUT BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Stir in the coconut extract and the eggs. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt, stir into the creamed mixture. Finally, fold in the coconut and walnuts.
• Divide dough into 2 pieces. Roll each piece out into a log about 10 inches long. Place them on an unprepared cookie sheet and flatten them until they are about 3 inches wide.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until firm. Cool on baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Slice the logs crosswise into 1/2 inch wide slices. Place slices cut side down onto the baking sheet.
• Return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes, until crisp and light brown. Cool and store in an airtight container.

COCONUT CHOCOLATE BISCOTTI

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on medium speed after each addition until incorporated.
• Mix in the vanilla and then the coconut until well combined.
• With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture and mix just until combined.
• The dough will be sticky.
• With the mixer still on low, mix in the chocolate chips (and almonds, if using) .
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F.
• Line a large cookie sheet with parchment.
• Divide the dough into equal halves and place on the cookie sheet.
• Working on the sheet, shape each half into a loaf about 10 inches long, 3 inches wide, and 3/4 inch high.
• Bake until the tops are browned, cracked, and crusty, and spring back slightly when gently pressed, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Cool about 30 minutes on the cookie sheet.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F.
• Transfer each loaf to a cutting board and with a sharp serrated bread knife, cut 1/2-inch slices crosswise on the diagonal.
• When slicing, hold the sides of the loaf near each cut to keep the slices neat.
• Put the slices cut side down on the cookie sheet and bake until the biscotti are dried and the cut surfaces are lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the cookie sheet to a rack and let the biscotti cool completely. The biscotti may give slightly when pressed but will harden as they cool.

COCONUT BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Spread 1 cup coconut flakes on a baking sheet and bake until toasted, about 3 minutes. Let cool completely. Transfer to a food processor; add the granulated sugar and pulse until finely ground. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk the coconut-sugar mixture, the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Melt the coconut oil in the microwave; add to the flour mixture along with the vanilla and 1/3 cup water and mix with a wooden spoon until a stiff dough forms. Stir in the macadamia nuts and the remaining 1/2 cup coconut flakes; gently knead until the dough comes together.
• Divide the dough in half and shape into two 9-by-2-inch logs; place 1 log on each baking sheet. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the logs are firm and golden, about 25 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
• Let the logs cool 10 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board; slice diagonally with a serrated knife into 3/4-inch-thick pieces. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheets. Bake, flipping halfway through, until just golden and the centers still have a little give, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheets. (The biscotti will crisp as they cool.)
• Whisk the confectioners' sugar, coconut cream and coconut extract until smooth. Dip the biscotti in the glaze; sprinkle with coarse sugar.

COCONUT CHOCOLATE ALMOND BISCOTTI

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on medium speed after each addition until incorporated. Mix in the vanilla and then the coconut until well combined. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture and mix just until combined. The dough will be sticky. With the mixer still on low, mix in the almonds and chocolate chips. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment. Divide the dough into equal halves and place on the cookie sheet. Working on the sheet, shape each half into a loaf about 10 inches long, 3 inches wide, and 3/4 inch high. Bake until the tops are browned, cracked, and crusty, and spring back slightly when gently pressed, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool about 30 minutes on the cookie sheet. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F. Transfer each loaf to a cutting board and with a sharp serrated bread knife, cut 1/2-inch slices crosswise on the diagonal. When slicing, hold the sides of the loaf near each cut to keep the slices neat. Put the slices cut side down on the cookie sheet and bake until the biscotti are dried and the cut surfaces are lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the cookie sheet to a rack and let the biscotti cool completely. The biscotti may give slightly when pressed but will harden as they cool.

COCONUT CHOCOLATE CHIP BISCOTTI

Steps:

• For the dough:
• Preheat oven to 350°. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• Whisk flour, baking powder and salt together. Set aside.
• Cream butter and sugar together in large mixing bowl, scraping bowl down periodically. Add eggs, one at a time. Blend in vanilla.
• Mix in dry ingredients. Lastly, add coconut and chocolate chips.
• Divide dough between two baking sheets. Shape into two logs that are 1" high and just under 3" wide, one per baking sheet. The length will depend on the amount of dough on each baking sheet.
• Bake at 350° for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on baking rack for 20 minutes.
• For the topping:
• Stir together sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
• After 20 minutes, use two spatulas to transfer each loaf to cutting board. Slice into ¾" slices. Return slices back to parchment covered baking sheet.
• Roll each slice in cinnamon/sugar mixture and return back to baking sheets.
• Bake at 350° for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and use a metal spatula to turn biscotti over. Return to oven, rotating the pans front to back and side to side. Bake at 350° for an additional 15 minutes, until biscotti are golden brown.
• Remove from oven and eat hot, warm or cold.

GLUTEN-FREE BISCOTTI WITH GINGER & CHOCOLATE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F (176 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil and sugar until thoroughly combined. Add the applesauce and optional vanilla. Whisk until well incorporated.
• Add the brown rice flour, tapioca starch, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and optional orange zest. Stir until no flour pockets remain. Add in the chopped candied ginger and give it a good stir. The dough should be thick and moist.
• Let the dough rest in the fridge for 5 minutes. It's okay if it seems a little oily - this makes it less fragile when cutting.
• When ready to bake, divide the dough into two equal amounts. Place each amount onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and shape into long skinny logs (~3 inches wide and 1 inch tall). Try to make them as uniform in size and shape as possible so they bake evenly.
• Bake for 30 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
• Once slightly cooled, use a very sharp serrated knife to cut the biscotti so they are about 1 inch thick. Be very gentle at this point - the candied ginger can get in the way of the knife. Place the biscotti back onto the baking sheet and bake again for 8-10 minutes on each side until golden brown (16-20 minutes total).
• Remove the biscotti from the oven and let cool.
• Meanwhile, add the chocolate chips to a small glass or metal bowl. Carefully place the bowl on top of a saucepan with simmering water. Heat, stirring occasionally with a spatula or spoon, until melted and no lumps remain (~5 minutes). You can also melt the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl in the microwave in 20-second increments until melted. Remove chocolate from heat.
• Once biscotti are cool, you can dip them into the chocolate for a more classic look or drizzle the chocolate across the whole biscotti.
• Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set the chocolate. To speed setting, pop in the freezer. Otherwise, let sit at room temperature until completely set.
• Store covered at room temperature for 3-4 days (we found a large jar is ideal for storage). Will keep in the freezer for up to 1 month if well sealed. Enjoy with hot tea, coffee, hot toddies, hot chocolate, or a pumpkin spice latte or chai latte!
