Best 9 Chocolate Orange Biscotti Recipes

ORANGE-CHOCOLATE CHIP BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300. Position rack in the middle of oven.
• Combine flour, baking soda, and salt; mix thoroughly with fork.
• Whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla and orange extracts, and orange zest in a medium bowl.
• Mix in the orange juice.
• Using a rubber spatula, stir in dry ingredients until just combined.
• Stir in chocolate chips.
• The batter will be thick and sticky (typical biscotti batter). Scrape the batter onto a baking sheet. (I cover my baking sheet with aluminum foil, then spray it with baking spray.) Using two spatulas, divide batter into two loaves, about 14" long and about 2.5" wide. Try to put at least 2.5" between the loaves; straighten the edges of the loaves with spatulas.
• Bake for 35 minutes, or until firm but springy when pressed with fingers.
• Cool for ten minutes in the pan. Then move loaves to a cutting board, and with a sharp knife (serrated is best), slice loaves on teh diagonal in 1/2" slices.
• Lay the biscotti on the baking sheet, cut side down, and bake for another 12 minutes.
• Take the biscotti out of the oven, turn them over, and bake another 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Note: If you don't want the biscotti to pick up a darker color, handle the second baking this way: Rather than laying the slices cut-side down, stand them upright, and bake them for a total of 24-30 minutes.
• Remove the biscotti from the oven and cool on a cooling rack.
• Medrich notes that the flavor will become stronger, and the biscotti will become more tender, after being stored for 2-3 days in an airtight container.

CHOCOLATE ORANGE BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Mix dough: Position oven racks in middle and top of oven, heat to 350*F. Toast hazelnuts until skins well-browned, @ 10 minutes. Spread on cutting board to cool. Roughly chop (if nuts are bigger than ½ inch.) With electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter on med-high speed until light and creamy. Add eggs one at a time. Add sugars, extracts, espresso and cocoa powders, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add orange peel, flour, baking powder and salt. Add hazelnuts and chocolate slivers, mixing just to combine. Dough will be stiff and a bit sticky. Let dough rest for 15-30 minutes before shaping. Shape dough and do initial baking: Line baking sheets with parchment. Divide dough into sixths. Using little flour on work surface, roll each piece into a log that's 12-14 inches long and 1 1/4 inches wide, working out air pockets as you go. (If you're working ahead, wrap logs in plastic and refrigerate overnight.) Set logs on lined baking sheet, @ 3 inches apart, patting sides to smooth and straighten. In small bowl, beat egg whites with orange extract until foamy. Brush tops and sides with egg white and sprinkle with sugar. Bake on middle rack until firm in the center, 30-35 minutes, rotating sheets to ensure even baking. Set sheets on racks until logs are cool enough to handle and so dough won't compress when you cut it, @ 30 minutes. Bake a second time: Reduce oven temperature to 300*F. Line baking sheets with parchment. With serrated knife, saw logs into 1/2-inch-thick slices, cutting crosswise. Lay slices flat on baking sheets. Brush tops with more egg white and sprinkle with more sugar. Bake @ 15 minutes, rotating sheets and switching their positions as needed. Turn biscotti over and repeat. Bake another 10-15 minutes, making sure chocolate doesn't burn. The centers will feel somewhat soft even when fully baked; they'll harden as the cookies cool. Set baking sheets on racks, letting biscotti cool and crisp completely on the sheets.
