Biscotti With Grasshopper Dipping Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; add to butter mixture, add vanilla and mix until well blended; Fold in chocolate chips.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, (325 convection).
• Divide dough in half, and shape each half into a 10-inch-by-2-inch log, (dough will be very soft---for easy handling, dust hands with flour) Place dough on baking sheet that has been sprayed with pan spray; bake each log for 25 minutes (15-20 for convection) or until firm.
• Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then remove to wire racks and cool completely; When cool, carefully cut each log diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices with a serratered knife; Return to baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees (325 convection) for 5 to 10 minutes, turn over and bake another 5 to 10 minutes, cool on wire racks; store in air tight container or plastic bag.
• Grasshopper dipping Sauce:Mix all ingredients together, keeps indefinitely in refrigerator; Adult version, Mix all ingredients until smooth, enjoy.

Steps:

• For the dip: Whisk together the yogurt, sugar, orange zest and vanilla in a small bowl. Stir in just enough cream to make a clingy dipping sauce. Cover and refrigerate while you prepared the biscotti. Remove from the refrigerator 5 minutes before using.
• For the biscotti: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, lightly spray with nonstick spray and set aside.
• Whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
• Whisk together the eggs in a small bowl until smooth. Add the maple syrup, butter, oil and vanilla and whisk until combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients along with the apricots and cranberries and mix with a wooden spoon until the dough just comes together; it will be wet. Using lightly floured hands (the dough may be a bit sticky so re-flour your hands as needed) transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and shape into a log about 12 inches-by-4 inches.
• Bake until lightly golden and firm to the touch, about 20 minutes. The log will have spread quite a bit. Cool on the pan on a cooling rack for 10 minutes (or until the log is cool enough to handle).
• Slice the log into 1/3-inch-wide slices on the diagonal. Lay the slices down on the sheet pan and bake until dry, 10 to 12 minutes longer. Let the slices sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a cooling rack to cool completely, about 10 minutes. Once the biscotti are cool, serve with the yogurt dip. The biscotti will keep 1 week at room temperature in a tightly sealed container.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4, and line a baking tray with baking parchment. Put the flour, sugars, baking powder and a large pinch of salt in a large bowl and stir together.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, egg, vanilla and 3 tbsp hot water. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry until the mixture comes together into a dough. Gently knead the dough until smooth - it will be quite dry, so add another 1 tbsp water if it's too difficult to knead after a few minutes. Divide the dough into two equal pieces, shaping each into a 25 x 8cm log. Put the logs on the prepared baking tray and bake for 25-30 mins. Remove from the oven and leave to cool on the tray for around 15 mins.
• Using a sharp knife, cut the slightly cooled logs into 1-2cm-thick slices crosswise. Return the biscotti to the lined baking tray and bake for 15-20 mins more (the oven should still be at 180C/160C fan/gas 4), turning the tray around halfway through. Leave to cool slightly on the tray, then transfer the biscotti to a wire rack and leave to cool completely. If you like, dip one end of each biscotti into some melted chocolate, then leave to set on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Will keep in an airtight container for up to five days.
