Lime and Coconut Biscotti

Ingredients

  • 3/4 c

    sugar

  • 1/2 c

    olive oil

  • 1 tsp

    vanilla or coconut extract

  • 4

    packets of True Lime

  • 2

    eggs

  • 1 3/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour


  • 2/3 c

    corn meal

  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder


  • 1/4 tsp

    salt

  • 1 c

    shredded coconut (unsweetened, if available)

  • 1/2 c

    chopped almonds (optional)

  • Additional True Lime for dusting

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Using an electric mixer or food processor with a dough blade, cream together sugar, oil, vanilla or coconut flavoring extract, and True Lime. Add the 2 eggs, one at a time.
  3. In a separate bowl combine the flour, corn meal, baking powder, salt, shredded coconut, and almonds.
  4. Add the dry ingredient mixture to the liquid mixture. If using a stand mixer, be sure to use the dough hook attachment. Otherwise, mix it by hand with a large spoon.
  5. Form dough into a large log (about 15 inches long by 3 inches wide) on a large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Sprinkle additional True Lime on top, then bake for 30-40 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes.
  8. Diagonally slice into biscotti pieces with a large bread knife. Place back onto a cookie sheet in a single layer and bake another 10-15 minutes, or until it reaches desired crunchiness. Remember it gets crunchier as it cools!
