Biscotti is an Italian treat known for its crisp texture and sweet flavor. Because it gets baked twice, it has a slightly dry texture, but that makes it perfect for dipping. Many people dip it into a hot beverage for breakfast.
Place your Chocolate Chip Biscotti in an airtight container with a lid. You do not need to store it in the refrigerator. Instead, you can leave it on your countertop or put it in the pantry. It should stay fresh for 2 weeks.
Hot coffee is commonly served with biscotti. You can dip it in your hot coffee to soften it up a bit before eating it. If you do not drink coffee, you can pair it with hot chocolate, warm chai tea, and even hot apple cider. It goes perfectly with many hot beverages! Here are a couple of copycat drinks that I love:
– Bulletproof Coffee
– Vanilla Latte
– Chai Tea Latte
Recipe Tips and Tricks
- Use a large bread knife to slice into the biscotti, making it easier on yourself to create the perfect shape for each piece.
- Add extra chocolate chips if you love the chocolate flavor added to the biscotti.
