Almond and Cherry Biscotti Dipped in Vanilla Bean White Chocolate

Our Cherry Almond Biscotti are made using a dual combination of flours to create a smooth and almost cakey crumb to the double baked traditional biscotti. The dough is folded in with sliced almonds and plump dried cherries. Each biscotti is drizzled or dipped in a vanilla bean white chocolate, for an added layer of decadence to the fruity and fresh flavors of cherry and hint of citrus zest.

  7. To make the glaze, mix all the glaze ingredients in a bowl. Using a double boiler, melt chocolate mixture and smooth. Drizzle and dip biscotti to your liking.

Tip: If your dried cherries seem a bit large, you can cut in half to have better distribution throughout your cookie.
