How To Make classic creme brulee with chocolate dipped vanilla biscotti
-
1Making the Biscotti Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease (or line with parchment) one large (about 18” x 13”) baking sheet. To make the biscotti: In a medium-sized bowl, beat the butter, sugar, salt, vanillas, and baking powder until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Beat in the eggs; the batter may look slightly curdled. At low speed of your mixer, add the flour, stirring until smooth; the dough will be quite soft and sticky, but should hold its shape when you drop it from a spoon. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet, and shape it into a rough log about 14" long. It will be about 2 1/2" wide, and about 3/4" thick. Brush the top of the dough with vanilla syrup, if desired. Bake the dough for 25 minutes. Remove it from the oven, and allow it to cool on the pan for 10 minutes. If you’ve baked in a biscotti pan, turn it out of the pan onto a baking sheet (no need to grease it) after 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F. While the dough is still warm, slice it in 1/2” to 3/4” slices. Set the biscotti upright (on edge) on the prepared baking sheet. Return the biscotti to the oven, and bake them for 45 minutes, tenting with foil after 30 minutes. Remove them from the oven, and transfer them to a rack to cool. To make the chocolate dip: Place the chocolate and cream in a microwave-safe bowl, and heat in the microwave until the mixture is very hot. You can also make the dip in a saucepan set over very low heat. Dip biscotti halfway in the chocolate, and set on a parchment-lined (or waxed paper-lined) baking sheet to set. Sprinkle with chopped nuts while the chocolate’s still soft. Biscotti can be stored at room temperature for one week; for longer storage, wrap airtight and freeze. This makes about a dozen biscotti.
