Chocolate Anise Sour Cherry Biscotti
Type
Dessert
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- ½ cup superfine sugar
- few drops anise extract
- 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp cocoa
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- handful of chocolate chips
- handful of dried sour cherries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Whisk the egg and sugar until pale and thick; I use an electric mixer here on high for about 4/5 minutes. Beat in the anise then slowly fold in the flour, cocoa, and baking powder.
- When the batter's all combined, fold in the cherries and chocolate chips, and then on a piece of baking parchment on a baking sheet, form the dough into a loaf-like log of about 10 × 2 inches, slightly tapering the ends and squashing down a little.
- Cook for 25 minutes. Leave for 5 minutes to harden slightly, and then cut diagonal slants of about ½ in thickness along the length of the loaf to give finger-like pieces.
- Put these on a cooling rack (it enables the heat to get to both sides at the same time) and cook again for another 10 minutes. If you don’t have a cooling rack, lay the fingers on the cookie sheet and cook for 5 minutes, then turn over and cook for another 5 minutes- be careful, the Biscotti is soft when it’s warm!
- Let the biscotti cool on a rack and then store them in an airtight container.
- To make them extra special, drizzle melted chocolate over them while they are still warm!
