Sugar-free Biscotti

Who doesn't love the warm, comforting scent of biscuits baking away in the oven? For this recipe, we've baked up some super delicious, super traditional biscuits, a.k.a Biscotti. Originally hailing from a town in Italy called Prato, Biscotti is a traditional Italian almond biscuit. Twice baked to dry the biscuit out, Biscotti were made to store for extended periods of time during long journeys. Nowadays, Biscotti offers a refreshingly different take on our current short bread biscuit obsession. What's great about this recipe is that you can now too enjoy and indulge in traditional Biscotto the sugar-free way! Sugar-free and dairy-free, we definitely recommend backing up some Biscotti and sharing the experience with friends and family. They look and taste a lot different to what you're probably used to buying from the shops and that's what makes them so unique and delicious!
