Italian cuisine is a gift that keeps on giving, and we’re not just talking about risotto or pizza.

There are enough authentic recipes to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings. One of our favorite picks, the walnut biscotti, traces all the way back to the middle ages but is still just as relevant today.

While the original dessert is absolutely divine, we wanted to go for a cocoa twist this time around.

Course: Dessert

Cuisine: Italian

Ingredients

▢ 7 oz. flour (sifted)
▢ 2¼ tsp. baking powder (10 g)
▢ ¼ tsp. salt
▢ 2 tbsp. cocoa powder (25 g)
▢ 7 oz. almonds / walnuts / anything you’d like (slightly pan-toasted (200 g))
▢ 2 eggs
▢ ½ cup date syrup

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients ( flour, baking powder, salt, etc.).
In a different bowl, beat the eggs with the date syrup.
Pour the contents of the wet bowl into the one with the dry ingredients and mix until you form a sticky dough.
Spread some flour on your work surface and shape the dough into a long loaf.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (170°C) and bake the loaf (without convection).
Wait until the loaf is golden and firm, then take it out. This should take 30–40 minutes.
While the loaf cools down a bit, lower the oven’s temperature to 300°F (150°C).
Cut the cooled loaf into biscotti slices with a thickness of about ½ inch (1 cm).
Put the slices back in the oven for 15 minutes to finish baking.

Tips

No matter how tempting it is, don’t eat the biscotti right out of the oven. You have to let them cool down completely on a wire rack first. Otherwise, you’ll miss out on the brilliant crunch!
