Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Biscotti
I decided to give vegan biscotti a try because I wanted to test more ways to use aquafaba in baking. This recipe does a great job in holding up in the oven with a whipped leavening agent. Cacao Barry Légère 1% cacao powder and Cacao Barry hazelnut praliné are a flavor match made in heaven and I of course wanted to start biscotti making with a classic flavor combination.
