Chocolate Coconut Biscotti
- 3 eggs (2 eggs, plus 1 yolk)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup almonds chopped
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (reserve half for dipping)
- 1/2 cup sweetened or unsweetened coconut, toasted
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a whisk attachment on an electric mixer, whip 2 eggs plus 1 yolk and granualated sugar until mixture becomes light and frothy. Add coconut oil, vanilla, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
- Using a food processor, chop almonds; add cocoa powder and brown sugar; pulse until ingredients are well mixed.
- Replace whisk attachment with paddle attachment: Add flour, and mix at low speed. Add almond mixture and about half a cup of chocolate chips and mix on low speed until the ingredients are combined in a sticky dough.
- On a lightly floured pastry board, shape dough into a ball, knead lightly. Cut ball in two and form 2 logs, each about 9 inches long, 2 inches wide. Place logs on baking sheet.
- Bake 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove loaves from oven and let them partially cool. About 10 minutes.
- Lower the oven temperature to 325u0b0F. With a serrated knife, carefully cut into diagonal slices about 1/2-inch thick; dough will be slightly soft inside. Return slices in one layer to a cleaned baking sheet, and bake until crunchy.
- For topping: in a saucepan, melt chocolate chips over low heat. Add 1 tablespoon coconut oil and stir until mixture is silky smooth. Toast coconut.
- Allow twice-baked slices to cool completely. Dip into chocolate mixture and top with coconut. Place finished slices back on cookie tray and cool in refrigerator until the topping hardens.
- Serve immediately and enjoy. Noting that this recipe also freezes well.
