A traditional biscotti recipe with the flavors of spring! Cherries + White Chocolate!
Toast blanched almonds at 350° for just a few minutes until they just start to take on a hint of toasty brown color. The whole almonds will take about 8 min.
*It's important to use the right white chocolate for drizzling on top. The Ghiradelli white chocolate chips and baking bar ingredients differ which makes a HUGE difference when melting chocolate. The ingredients list for Ghirardelli's Classic White baking chips includes no white chocolate, cocoa or cocoa butter making it a dry mess when you try to melt it for drizzling.
When melting chocolate, adding a bit of oil helps the chocolate remain smooth and liquidy for drizzling.
The ration of dry ingredients to wet ingredients is one aspect that affects the crispiness or hardness of biscotti. One egg per one cup of flour and 1 tablespoon of liquor per one cup of flour are a good guideline for creating your own biscotti variety.
