Naturally gluten free chocolate biscotti is baked twice and then dipped in a rich chocolate coating for a double chocolate bite.
By Pallavi Gupta
This recipe is pretty easy to put together and chances for it to fail is minimal. The recipe follows the same principal of any biscotti, but I have just replaced the ingredients with the ones that are vegan and do not contain gluten. Its a double chocolate biscotti and you won’t notice a difference in the taste or the texture of the final cookie. You can choose to smear some vegan chocolate on the biscotti after its cooled completely, but even if you don’t – they taste pretty good without the chocolate too.

This would be great tea time treat :)
I have always wanted to make a biscotti but thought it would just be way too difficult. But this recipe sounds pretty straight forward so I think I’m going to have to give this a go! Thanks for sharing :)
