Triple Chocolate Biscotti
This Triple Chocolate Biscotti recipe is a delicious chocolate biscotti with chocolate chunks baked in and more chocolate drizzled on top.
- ⅔ cup granulated white sugar
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, (at room temperature)
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon instant espresso powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1¾ cups all purpose flour
- ¾ cup dark chocolate chunks
- ¾ cup dark chocolate chunks
- ½ teaspoon shortening
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the cocoa powder, baking powder and espresso powder. Beat for a minute or so, then beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the flour. Then stir in the chocolate chunks. Cover the dough and chill for about 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal parts. Roll each into a 9-inch log. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, about 4-inches apart. Flatten slightly.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to let cool for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 325℉. Cut each log into ½-inch wide diagonal slices. Place the slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 9 minutes. Turn the biscotti over and bake for an additional 7 to 9 minutes. Cool completely. Set the biscotti on a wire rack set over wax paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate chunks and shortening until melted and smooth. Drizzle the chocolate haphazardly over the cooled biscotti. Let the chocolate set completely before storing. Store in a sealed container with waxed paper in between layers.

ADD THE ICING:
Recipe Tip:
Biscotti is supposed to be crisp, so don’t be alarmed that you are baking it on both sides. That’s what will help create the crisp texture.
Substitutions:
Use milk chocolate in place of dark chocolate, if you’d like. You can also use white chocolate!
What I Love About This Recipe:
Biscotti is a tasty treat to dip into tea or coffee.
Sometimes I dip the edge in chocolate instead of drizzling on top.
These satisfy a big-time chocolate craving!
