Orange and Walnut Biscotti

Share

Crisp, nutty and delicious, these Orange and Walnut Biscotti are bound to impress! Biscotti are little Italian biscuits that are usually made with almonds but I make mine with walnuts – just my personal preference, I love walnuts! I think these are the perfect way to end a meal: serving coffee or tea and a biscotti on the side.

If I’m hosting a dinner party, I always bake a batch of these in advance as a classy sweet treat to finish a special evening. This recipe is very easy to follow and makes enough for a group of friends, plus more for you to snack on over the next few days! And of course, these are easy to customize  – why not try a lemon zest and almond version? Or crushed cardamom and pistachio?

Anisette toast had a better crunch than this one and the orange in this is overwhelming too.

Zoya Emore

Super crunchy and delicious I'd recommend serving this with some melted butter and nutella on the top for a sweeter taste :)

Mercy Abramson

Took a while to make but it was worth it for sure.

Raylynn Hoffstadt

Italian food is legit my top 10 when it comes to cultured, I personally love Mexican and French as well but all the Italian ones usually involve some amazing pasta sauces or breads that can be used for both dessert or a savory snack like this one.

Sandra Koechner

Made a sandwich from this bread for lunch it was good.

Karissa Gilford

Huge crowd pleaser my family devoured all of it on the same day with marshmellow fluff.

Linnea Lavoy

Walnuts aren't really my thing so I swapped them out for almonds instead.
