Three-fourth oz of sugar-free white chocolate chips

INGREDIENTS NOTES:

FLOUR OF ALMOND

Don’t grind the nuts at home, this gives the biscotti a coarse texture and makes it fragile. You can use the flour of almond bought from the store.

SWEETENER:

Always use the Erythritol base flour to get crispy cookies.

BAKING POWDER:

Use baking powder to get a slight rise in cookies.

EGGS:

Always use egg because it holds the biscotti together and prevents it from crumbling.

EXTRACT:

You can use any other extract like vanilla, almond, or caramel if you want to avoid peppermint extract.

COCOA POWDER:

For a nice taste and smell, cocoa powder of Dutch is used.

INSTRUCTION:

BISCOTTI:

Turn on the oven to heat up over three-seventy-five degrees Fahrenheit.
Put the parchment paper on the tray.
Brush the oil or butter on the baking sheet
In a large container sift all the dry ingredients with the help of a sieve
(Flour, cocoa powder, salt, sweetener, and baking powder).
Mix all the ingredients like eggs, melted butter, and peppermint extract.
Mix all the dry ingredients slowly with the wet ingredients and form the dough.
Put the dough on the baking mat and knead well.
Split the dough into two or three portions.
Step four baking
Form the dough into a rectangular and put it in the tray to bake.
Place it in the oven for twenty-five to thirty minutes to bake two biscotti and eighteen minutes for three.
When it is baked, take out the baking tray and let it cool for five minutes.
Step 3 slice it out
Using the tip of a sharp knife divide each biscotti into two equal portions transfer it back to The tray and place it through the outer crust.
Return it to the oven and bake it for seven to ten minutes from each side.
Arrange a wire rack and transfer the baked biscotti to a wire rack to cool down.

CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT DIP:

By double boiling method, set a heat-proof bowl on steaming water.
Add the cocoa butter and chocolate to the bowl and stir it until the chocolate melts.
Add the Peppermint extract and stir it.
Dip each biscotti in the chocolate and place it onto the baking sheet.
Refrigerate it to set the chocolate.

WHITE CHOCOLATE DRIZZLE:

By the same double boiling method set a bowl on the simmering water.
Dissolve the butter (cocoa) and chocolate (white) until it gets creamy and smooth.
Transfer the white chocolate to the piping bag and drizzle lightly over the biscotti.
It can be done with the help of a spoon also.
Your Keto Chocolate Peppermint Biscotti is ready.

TIPS:

Always try to make three loaves of biscotti instead of two because three loaves cook evenly and two loaves give firm biscotti and have a brownie-like flavor.
Let it cool down the biscotti first then dip it in the chocolate because all the cookies are soft and gentle when it is hot.

STORAGE INFORMATION:

ROOM TEMPERATURE:

You can store it for two to three days at room temperature in an airtight container.

FREEZER:

You can store the biscotti before and after a dip in chocolate for up to two months in an airtight jar.

FAQs

Is there any alternative for flour or almonds?

Flour of sunflower is used instead of flour of almond. It can be used in the same amount as compare to this flour although you need to increase the flour quantity due to the oil content.

By what method can I make this recipe free from dairy?

Oil of coconut is used instead of butter. Avoid white chocolate dripping.

Can I use a different sweetener?

You can use any other sweetener as well but any sweetener that contains allulose, or xylitol doesn’t give the required result. So I prefer to use Erythritol base sweetener to get crisp cookies.
