Cranberry & Pistachio Biscotti

(1)

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 ½ cups self-raising flour, sifted
  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • 1/3 cup monk fruit sugar
  • 70g Ocean Spray® Craisins® 50% Less Sugar Dried Cranberries
  • 70g pistachios
  • 3 eggs, whisked
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil (60g), measured solid
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Topping:
  • 200g dark chocolate, melted
  • Sea salt flakes

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven 170c fan forced. Line a baking sheet with baking paper.

2. Combine the flour, almond flour and monk fruit sugar in a bowl, with a spatula. Add the whisked eggs, vanilla and melted coconut oil. Blend until it forms a soft dough. Add Craisins® and pistachios, and gently knead until well-combined.

3. Divide the dough into two portions, and form two flattened logs. (It may be helpful to do this on a sheet of baking paper, and fold the baking paper over the dough to assist in rolling the dough into shape.) Each log should be approximately 18cm long x 7cm wide x 2cm high.

4. Gently mark each log with a knife, to indicate each slice of biscotti on the log approximately 1.5cm apart. (Do not cut more than one fifth of the way in, nor mark less than 1.5cm apart or the biscuits will be too crumbly to slice once cooked.) Bake in pre heated oven for 30 minutes.

5. Turn oven off, remove tray from oven and allow the loaves to cool for 30 minutes. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the loaf into the individual biscotti slices. Hold the biscotti piece you are slicing at each end with your fingertips to keep it from crumbling whilst slicing. Place slices onto baking tray.

6. Pre-heat oven to 160c fan forced. Bake for 20 minutes, carefully flipping slices over half-way through.

7. Turn off the oven, leave the tray in the oven with the door slightly open/ajar, and allow biscotti to cool slowly. (This is the process that makes them crispy.)

8. Once biscotti are completely cool, dip each biscotti half-way into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place on baking/waxed paper until set.

9. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes. Store in an air tight container for up to 2 weeks.
