Lime Coconut Biscotti Recipes

CITRUS BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F / 177°C / Gas Mark 4.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, combine butter, sugar and eggs. Beat for 3 - 4 minutes, until light and fluffy.
• Add lemon juice, lemon extract and citrus zests. Mix to combine.
• Add dry ingredients and mix until combined.
• Divide the dough in half. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, form each half into a rectangle of dough approximately an inch thick.
• Bake for 30 minutes, rotating pan halfway through. Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes.
• Gently slice biscotti into 1/4" pieces and lay them back on the sheet pan on their sides. Bake for an additional 10 minutes for crispy biscotti - see notes for extra crunchy cookies.
• Cool on wire cooling rack completely before drizzling with chocolate if desired.
• To drizzle with chocolate: Melt 1/3 cup chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments, stirring between each. When there are pea-sized pieces of chocolate left, you're done. Let the chocolate sit, the heat will continue melting it. Stir until smooth.

KEY LIME AND WHITE BISCOTTI RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add butter and use mix until the dough resembles coarse meal. Add egg, milk, vanilla, and key lime juice and blend until the dough becomes soft, then add the walnuts and white chocolate chunks. Form dough into two or three long narrow rolls on a large cookie sheet lined with waxed paper - leave plenty of space between rolls as they'll expand in the oven. Bake for 20 minutes then cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes. While the biscotti is resting, lower oven temperature to 300°. Cut biscotti on the diagonal into ½ in. thick slices and arrange on cookie sheet lined with waxed paper. Bake 30 minutes. Biscotti will harden as they cool. Store for up to 2 weeks in airtight container, layering biscotti between sheets of waxed paper.

COCONUT BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Spread 1 cup coconut flakes on a baking sheet and bake until toasted, about 3 minutes. Let cool completely. Transfer to a food processor; add the granulated sugar and pulse until finely ground. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk the coconut-sugar mixture, the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Melt the coconut oil in the microwave; add to the flour mixture along with the vanilla and 1/3 cup water and mix with a wooden spoon until a stiff dough forms. Stir in the macadamia nuts and the remaining 1/2 cup coconut flakes; gently knead until the dough comes together.
• Divide the dough in half and shape into two 9-by-2-inch logs; place 1 log on each baking sheet. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the logs are firm and golden, about 25 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
• Let the logs cool 10 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board; slice diagonally with a serrated knife into 3/4-inch-thick pieces. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheets. Bake, flipping halfway through, until just golden and the centers still have a little give, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheets. (The biscotti will crisp as they cool.)
• Whisk the confectioners' sugar, coconut cream and coconut extract until smooth. Dip the biscotti in the glaze; sprinkle with coarse sugar.
