Passover Chocolate Mandelbrot (No Flour, Better Than Biscotti)
- Ready In:
- 1hr 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 10
- Yields:
-
36-48 items
- Serves:
- 20
ingredients
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 cup dairy-free margarine (I use smart balance light to improve nutritionals)
- 6 eggs
- 2 3⁄4 cups matzo cake meal
- 3⁄4 cup potato starch
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 teaspoons white sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Grease a large cookie sheet.
- In a large bowl, cream together the 2 cups sugar and margarine until smooth.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each one.
- Combine the cake meal, potato starch and salt; stir into the creamed mixture.
- Mix in walnuts and chocolate chips. The mixture will be heavy, don't worry.
- Form into 2-3 long oval loaves (not high!). Place onto the prepared baking sheet (they don't spread too much) lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. You can use 3 disposable aluminum pans, approximately 5 x 12 by 1 inch high, also lined - and you get a very uniform product.
- Sprinkle the top with half the mixture of 4 teaspoons sugar and cinnamon.
- Check after 30-35 minutes. If lightly browned, remove from oven and let cool till warm (about 15-20 minutes). Change oven temperature to 250 degrees F.
- Slice into 1/2 inch slices.
- Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar and lay pieces on sides.
- Bake for about 5-10 minutes on each side.
- IMPORTANT NOTE: Some people may find that they prefer this baked a little longer. Adjust cooking time to your personal taste.
- Cool completely.

This was so good that my DH would not stop eating it and I was seriously afraid that he would eat it all so I hid it in the oven (the last place he'd think of looking); it certainly does taste like chometz (containing flour). Next time I'm going to leave out the chocolate chips and I will dip it into melted chocolate for a fun variation.

I LOVE BISCOTTI, & so this recipe really attracted my attention! AND, I gotta say, this IS great biscotti! I like that is can be presented more as a chewable cookie! Will definitely be making this again ~ Want to try it with the chocolate & dried cherries! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this Spring's PAC]
