Today I have just four words for you: “Beam me up biscotti.”
Ok ok, I apologize for the Star Trek joke, but there just isn’t that much biscotti related humor out there.
But enough dilly dally.
Today I’m going to share a recipe for low carb cranberry biscotti with a coconut and chocolate drizzle. And I have to tell you, this dessert is just as good as it sounds. It’s a total yum.
To make these Italian cookies, you start by mixing up a dough of almond flour, coconut flour, eggs, baking soda, vanilla extract, unsweetened dried cranberries and sugar-free sweetener.
You form the dough into a rectangle and bake it for 20 minutes, then let it cool to room temperature. This is the first step you take to dry this cookies out. You cut the rectangle up and bake the pieces again for 20 minutes more. Then you allow the cookies to come up to room temperature in the warm oven. This really dries the cookies out and gives them that crunchy biscotti texture. To finish the biscotti off, you spread some sweetened coconut butter on top and then drizzle chocolate on top of that.
And next thing you know, it’s “Beam me up Biscotti” time.
