Coffee Cream-Frosted Biscotti
Twice-baked vegan biscotti topped with rich coffee cream frosting. Crunchy, cozy, and caffeinated—basically a coffee break with attitude.
Ingredients
- Biscotti:
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup almond flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup strong brewed coffee cooled
- 1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water flax egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Frosting:
- ¼ cup vegan butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp espresso powder
- 1 tbsp non-dairy milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking tray with parchment paper like a baking queen.
- Combine flax and water. Let it chill for 5 minutes. It thickens up like good gossip.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, almond flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in coconut oil, coffee, vanilla, and the flax egg. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Shape into a log about 8 inches long, 3 inches wide. Place on tray and press gently.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Let it cool for 10. Slice into ½-inch pieces with your sassiest knife.
- Lay slices flat and bake again for 15 minutes. Cool completely—yes, patience is a virtue.
- For frosting, beat vegan butter until creamy. Add sugar, espresso, milk, and vanilla. Whip until it’s smoother than your ex’s lies.
- Frost each biscotti with a generous swipe of cream. Let set. Try not to eat them all immediately.
