Raspberry Tiramisu Biscotti

Ingredients:

For the biscotti:

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped fresh raspberries

For the tiramisu filling:

  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup Kahlúa or other coffee liqueur (optional)
  • 6-8 ladyfingers, torn into pieces

Instructions:

To make the biscotti:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
  3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually mix in the flour mixture, then fold in the chopped raspberries.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times until it comes together.
  7. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter.
  8. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space between them.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscotti are firm to the touch and lightly golden brown.
  10. Allow the biscotti to cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing them.

To make the tiramisu filling:

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and heavy cream. Whisk until smooth.
  2. If using Kahlúa or other coffee liqueur, stir it in now.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the tiramisu filling for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

To assemble the biscotti:

  1. Slice each biscotti log into about 12 equal pieces.
  2. Dip the end of each piece into the tiramisu filling, then sandwich two pieces together to form a biscotti with a layer of filling in between.
  3. Repeat this process until all the biscotti and filling are used up.

Notes:

  • These biscotti will keep for up to 5 days stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • If you want a stronger raspberry flavor, you can add another 1/4 cup of chopped raspberries to the dough when you mix it together.
