The Title of the Recipe
Coconut Cream Pie Biscotti
A twist on traditional biscotti, these crunchy cookies are flavored with the creamy goodness of coconut cream pie.
Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 can (14.5 oz) sweetened condensed milk
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
- Stir in shredded coconut.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in sweetened condensed milk.
- Divide dough into 2 equal pieces and shape each piece into a log about 12 inches long.
- Place logs on prepared baking sheet, leaving about 4 inches between them.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- To ensure the biscotti retain their crunchiness, bake them until they are lightly golden brown.
- If you want an extra coconut flavor boost, sprinkle shredded coconut over the top of each log before baking.
- Biscotti can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Variations:
- For a chocolate-dipped biscotti, dip one end of each cookie in melted chocolate (white, milk, or dark) after it has cooled completely.
- Add chopped pecans or hazelnuts to the dough for added texture and flavor.
