Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Cranberry and Pistachio Biscotti Dipped in White Chocolate

[heart_this] · Dec 22, 2009 · 25 Comments

Cranberry and Pistachio Biscotti Dipped in White Chocolate

Cranberries and pistachios are a great combo that and it is the perfect combo for the holidays with the red and green colours. White chocolate is the third component of this amazing flavour combination and I often enjoy making it in chocolate chip cookie form. While I was making the chocolate and pistachio biscotti I was thinking about a cranberry and pistachio version. I figured that I already had some biscotti on my holiday cookie platter and that I did not need a second one but days later I was still thinking about it so I had to whip up a batch. Normally I would just add the white chocolate chips or chunks to the biscotti but this time I thought that I would change things up a bit and dip the biscotti into some melted white chocolate. I could barely wait for the white chocolate to cool before photographing and digging into the biscotti. The cranberries and pistachios work really well in biscotti form and I am certainly glad that I made them. I also really liked the white chocolate dip and I look forward to experimenting more with chocolate dipped biscotti. My holiday cookie tray is looking more complete every day now!

    Looks great! How does cranberry and pistachio compliment each other? Normally cranberry goes well with almond. Never tried to mix. But sounds as a great idea! Happy holidays!

    Ironic but I had planned to make these along with your chocolate pistachio cookies so I would have a good solid vanilla and chocolate pair to give away! Great minds thing alike?

    They look great. I almost made these this year, too. I just love the color combo and flavor. Instead I ended up making white chocolate-cranberry-pistachio fudge.

    I'm a newcomer to your blog. I found it surfing through other food blogs, and I am so happy I did! I made biscotti this week for the first time and loved it so much that I've already made a second batch. My husband was a skeptic the first go around, but was eagerly awaiting the second batch by the time the chocolate set up. Keep up the good work – you make my kind of food :)!

    I used to eat something similar when I was in Italy and it was devine. I'm so glad I found this recipe on your blog. I also love the chocolate biscotti.

    Wow these look great! I made them today!

    However, the dough was super sticky.. Is it supposed to be that way?

    And how do you get your chocolate to coat so smoothly and evenly?

    Those were the two problems I ran across.

    Hope to try more of your great recipes. Cheers!

    Anonymous: If the dough is sticky you can add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it smooths out a bit. For the chocolate, I just melted it until it was liquidy and then dipped it in. I sometimes find that chocolate chips do not melt all that smoothly so I usually use some higher quality baking chocolate like Callebaut.

    Hi Kevin, I was wondering if I used Gluten Free flour, would I also have to change the liquids and eggs? Or If I used 1:1 cup gluten Free flour and kept the same amount of everything, would this recipe work?
