The Best Orange-Chocolate Biscotti

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This chocolate biscotti gives the same luxury as a chocolate brownie. It is rich and very chocolatey with a hint of orange for a zesty flavor.

Chocolate is rich, intense, and fatty. Add some fresh, fruity, and zesty tones of orange fruit to create an overall experience that is equal parts nostalgic and invigorating. It is the true magic of chocolate and orange. A perfect match from heaven that doesn't overwhelm each other.

Engredients list

  • Semi-sweet chocolate
  • Butter
  • Coco powder
  • All-purpose flour
  • Baking powder and salt
  • Eggs
  • Sugar
  • Vanilla and orange zest

How to make biscotti

The general layout of making biscotti starts with making the dough, dividing, shaping into slabs, baking, slicing, and baking it again; that's what biscotti is all about.

Make the dough: start by melting the butter and chocolate in a double boiler. Whisk and sift all the dry ingredients in a bowl.

Beat the eggs, vanilla, and orange zest, ( either use a standing mixer with the whisk attachment or handheld electric mixer) adding the sugar gradually until light and pale.

Add the melted chocolate, followed by the flour, and then fold the remaining chocolate chips.

Divide the dough into two equal parts. Roll and shape into a long cylinder (log). Place the log in the baking sheet, flatten a little bit, brush with egg wash, and then bake.

Hint: I always use a double boiler (A cooking utensil consisting of saucepans fitting together so that any content you put at the upper pan can be melted or heated by boiling water in the lower pan.) to melt my chocolate but a microwave can also do the trick but heat it intermittently.

Storage: this biscotti will last for at least three weeks stored in an air-tight container.
