Instructions
For the Red Velvet Biscotti
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set pan aside.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Using a stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy (~3-4 minutes on medium speed).
- Add cocoa powder, salt and baking powder; mix until well combined.
- Add eggs, whipping cream, food coloring, vanilla extract and vinegar; mix until well combined.
- Add flour; mix until well combined.
- Transfer dough to prepared baking sheet. Shape dough into a 5”x10” rectangle. (Tip: The red food coloring will leave your hands red. To prevent this, wear disposable gloves.)
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove pan from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
- Transfer biscotti to a cutting board and slice crosswise into 5”x¾” pieces. Place each piece cut-side down on parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Continue baking for 25-30 more minutes, or until biscotti are slightly crispy to the touch.
- Let biscotti cool for 5 minutes on pan before transferring to wire racks until completely cool.
For the Cream Cheese Glaze
- Using a small bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients until smooth.
- Using a piping bag with a small round tip (or a ziptop bag with one tiny corner snipped off), drizzle the glaze over the cooled biscotti.
