How to Make Bittersweet Chocolate Biscotti
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the chopped hazelnuts (or your chosen nuts) and chocolate chips.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.
- Place the log onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscotti is set but still slightly soft.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
- Once cooled, slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices, cut-side down, back onto the baking sheet.
- Bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- While the biscotti are cooling, prepare the chocolate topping: Melt the chocolate chips with the heavy cream in a double boiler or microwave in 30 second intervals until smooth. Stir until combined.
- Once the biscotti are completely cool, drizzle the melted chocolate over the top and allow it to set.
