Introduction

These Chocolate-Dipped Almond Biscotti offer a delightful crunch paired with rich chocolate for a perfect treat. Crispy and nutty, they’re ideal alongside your morning coffee or afternoon tea.

Three golden brown biscotti biscuits are arranged on a white plate with a thin gold rim, each dipped halfway in smooth, glossy dark chocolate. On top of the chocolate layer, there are scattered slices of light tan almonds, adding texture and contrast. The biscotti have a crumbly and airy texture visible on the undipped portion. The plate rests on a white marbled surface, and in the blurred background, part of a white cup with a gold rim is visible, along with another biscuit. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup sliced almonds, toasted
6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon vegetable oil (optional, for smoothness)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with vanilla and almond extracts until combined, then gradually mix into the dry ingredients. Fold in the toasted sliced almonds.
Step 2: Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a 12-inch long, 2-inch wide log on the baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
Step 3: Slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces using a sharp knife. Arrange the slices cut side down on the baking sheet. Bake for another 15-20 minutes until dry and crisp. Let cool completely.
Step 4: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and vegetable oil if using. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and melted.
Step 5: Dip one end of each biscotti into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place on parchment-lined sheet and allow chocolate to set at room temperature or refrigerate for quicker setting.
Step 6: Serve your chocolate-dipped almond biscotti with coffee or tea, or enjoy as a sweet snack any time of day.

Tips & Variations

Toast the almonds before adding for a deeper flavor and extra crunch.
Use dark or white chocolate instead of semi-sweet for a different taste.
Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or orange zest to the dough for a unique twist.
For extra smooth chocolate, add a teaspoon of vegetable oil or butter when melting.

Storage

Store biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. To keep the chocolate coating intact, avoid storing in humid conditions. Reheat slightly in a warm oven to regain crispness if needed before serving.
