Ingredients
- 1/2 cup toasted and chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup hazelnuts toasted and chopped
- 4 dried digestives cookies coarsely crushed 2 large biscotti can be used
- 3/4 stick room temperature butter cut in pieces
- one 12-once bag semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp strong brewed coffee
- 1 tsp orange liquor
- 1/2 cup caster granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup confectioner sugar
Servings: servings
Instructions
- Put the butter and chocolate in a heatproof medium bowl and place the bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth, about 6 minutes. Stir in the coffee until smooth. Add the walnuts,hazelnut, biscotti pieces and orange liquor, and stir until combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until firm but moldable, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Divide the chocolate mixture in half. Place half of the mixture in the center of an 18-inch-long piece of plastic wrap.
- Form the mixture into a log, about 7 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. Roll up the log in the plastic and twist the ends to seal. Roll back and forth on a work surface a few times to make the log evenly round. Repeat with the remaining chocolate mixture. Refrigerate the logs until firm, about 1 hour.
- Spread the confectioners' sugar on a dinner plate. Remove the plastic wrap from the logs, then roll them in the sugar until coated. Using a brush, brush away the excess sugar. Let the logs sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the logs into 1/2-inch-thick slices and serve.
