Pumpkin and White Chocolate Biscotti Recipe
For those looking for a delightful treat to enjoy during the holiday season, look no further than Pumpkin and White Chocolate Biscotti. This Italian variation of traditional biscotti is not only delicious but also surprisingly easy to make.
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, beat 4 tablespoons of softened butter and 3/4 cup of sugar in the raw. To this mixture, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt, 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup of pure canned pumpkin. Beat until the ingredients are well combined.
Next, add 2 large eggs to the mixture and beat well. The dough will be sticky, but don't worry, that's normal. To this mixture, gently stir in 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed.
Form the dough into loaves that are 7 inches long, 2 inches wide, and approximately 3/4 inches thick. Place these loaves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring there is enough space between the loaves for spreading as they bake.
Bake the loaves for 25-30 minutes, until the center is firm to the touch. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and reduce the heat to 325 degrees. After 5 minutes, cut the loaves into 1/2 inch diagonal slices.
Return the slices to the oven and bake for an additional 35 to 40 minutes, until they feel dry and golden brown. The centers may be a little soft, but they will harden as they cool.
Once cooled, these Pumpkin and White Chocolate Biscotti are perfect to enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or warm milk. The author's kids even enjoy them as an afternoon snack.
So, whether you're hosting a holiday party or simply looking for a tasty treat to enjoy at home, give this Pumpkin and White Chocolate Biscotti Recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
