Nonna’s Chocolate Hazelnut Biscotti (e62)

- Опубліковано 5 бер 2021
- Buon giorno a tutti. In this episode, Nonna Mia, la nonna di tutti (everyone's grandmother), bakes up crunchy treats that your whole family will love - Chocolate Hazelnut Biscotti. The biscotti get their crispiness from being twice-baked, in fact, biscotti simply translated means 'bis' - twice and 'cotti' = baked. To make these, in a bowl, mix up the dry ingredients:
- 4 cups of all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 2/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
- a pinch of salt
- the zest of an orange
Whisk to blend ingredients.
Then in another bowl, Nonna adds the wet ingredients:
- 3/4 cup of olive oil
- 1.5 cups of sugar
- 4 eggs at room temperature
- 4 T Frangelico Liqueur (hazelnut liqueur) but you can substitute with 2 Tablespoons of vanilla extract or espresso.
Nonna creams the oil and sugar first. Of course, you can use a mixer, but Nonna prefers the exercise of doing it by hand. She then adds in the liqueur.
She then blends the wet with the dry ingredients. Last, Nonna adds in 2 cups of roasted and skinned hazelnuts that she prepared early by placing them in the oven at 325 for approximately 12-15 min, covers them with a dishcloth so that steam helps the skins come off more easily. She adds the hazelnuts to the dough and shapes it into a large log on the cocoa-dusted board. Then cut into 4 pieces, shape into logs and place on a parchment covered cookie sheet.
Bake the logs for 30 minutes at 350F. Cool 15 minutes, then, with a serrated knife, slice them into 1/4 thick, diagonal slices. Return to the cookie sheet and bake at 325F for 5 minutes, flip and bake another 5 min. If you prefer them extra crispy, you might cook them longer - it really is up to you. These twice-baked cookies are best enjoyed dipped into espresso or a cappuccino. Enjoy!
Buon appetito!

Buon giorno bella Nadia. Grazie tanto. I so appreciate that you watched my video and am really happy you wrote me. I hope you have a wonderful day! xox
Nonna, these biscuits look like a type of bisc from Tuscany called "Cantucci". How I like the way you combine the colour of the flowers on the table with the colour of the dishes you prepare and the dress you wear. That's all so perfect and pleasant 👍👍👍❤
Wow. You have a keen eye. Thank you for noticing. 😍
@@nonnamia7890 nonna😊❤

I just love you Nonna! You are awesome! 😘😘
Grazie mille cara! So sweet of you. xoxo

Hi Nonna, we finally got around to making this biscotti. It is really good. Especially with good coffee!
Bravissimi! I am so happy you liked my recipe! xoxo

Grazie cara!! 😘
“A little Frangelico for the biscotti, and a little Frangelico for Nonna!” Lol. The biscotti looks delicious Nonna. Especially with coffee! My wife makes good biscotti, and I’m pretty curious, so we bought some Frangelico so she could make yours. Can’t wait to try it!
That's cute! And a yes, some for the biscotti, and some for me. It is so delicious. I love it! Salute! xx
@Maribeth Stefanak it’s a hazelnut flavored liqueur. You can find it at the liquor store. The brown bottle is shaped like a Catholic Monk with a rope around the waist as a belt. It’s very delicious.
Nonna will you be doing any video or re-doing for Easter desserts ?? ❤
Bella sorry - I’m hoping to make ricotta gnocchi soon. Hopefully this week ahead. 🤞🙏🤞
Hello!
I tried this recipe, and must have messed something up as the dough was incredibly sticky, would you have any advice on what to do in that situation?
Thank you for all the recipies! The limoncello biscuits have been a big hit with my family!
I am so happy that your family likes the limoncello cookies! I love lemon so much!! Regarding the chocolate hazelnut biscotti - hmm, if it is sticky, it sounds like not enough flour? Did you watch my video and double-check the ingredients? I'm sorry it didn't work out but I am so glad you tried my recipes. xoxo

I did! I’m happy to report, I tried again halving the ingredients to experiment and it worked perfectly! I didn’t cream the eggs/oil/sugar properly the first time. It made all the difference!
I also tried adding in roasted macadamia nuts instead of hazelnuts, added a very deep butter flavour!
Thanks again for the recipes 😊
