Vegan spiced biscotti with coconut glaze & toasted coconut
Have you had coffee yet today? (Yes, obviously.) Good. Get some more.
You’re gonna need it to soften up this biscotti because if you try to eat it on its own you will shatter a tooth. Promise.
I know I’m making these sound really unappealing but I’m pretty sure the whole point of biscotti is that it’s purposely too hard to eat as a cookie, which is why it pairs perfectly with a hot cup of coffee for dunking. (I almost said “hot cup of joe” and now I want to hit myself.)
If, for some reason, you do not have coffee readily available (where are you that this is even possible?), you can use the biscotti as a self defense weapon. A weapon of minimal destruction, if you will. I don’t think you could kill anyone with it (a ninja could, though… a ninja would make nunchucks out of them) but you could cause some significant swelling and bruising. I’m just saying.
Little weapons.
ANYWAY. I wish I could tell you how I made these but it was one of those three-hour ordeals with lots of substitutions and slip ups and eyeballing and all that good stuff. So I owe you one coconut biscotti recipe. I’ll work on that.
In the meantime, I used this recipe as a starting point and launched into a cloud of frenzy and flour from there. So, unfortunately, there is no way for me to possibly recap it.
I owe you one biscotti recipe.
If you’d like to try one, though, you can come on over any time between now and when I die because I’m pretty sure the biscotti won’t get any staler than it is this very moment. Just give me a heads up when you’re on your way over so I can let my ninja know I need them back.
Day 1: Gingerbread cookies
This totally made me think of the scene in Charlie’s Angels where they make fun of lucy Liu’s baking attempt as “chinese fighting muffins.” Nunchucks or not, they look delish
Ok that’s it. I’m calling in sick to work tomorrow so I can fly down to Charlotte and eat one of these. They look delicious!
Not to gush inordinately, but I really wish you’d have a talk show or something. I think you could give someone like Chelsea Handler a run for her money.
I love that you cook vegan things! My to-bake list is getting very long. Thanks for sharing these recipes, and um…I heart your blog.
