Method

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the butter and 1 1/3 cups of sugar until creamy and fluffy.

  2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition.

  3. Stir in the rum, pineapple juice, and coconut extract until everything is well combined.

  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add this mixture to the batter and stir until fully incorporated.

  5. Stir in the pistachio nuts, pineapple, and coconut until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the batter for approximately 10 minutes.

  7. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly grease two cookie sheets.

  8. Divide the dough into four equal parts and shape each piece into a 12-inch long log on a lightly floured surface.

  9. Place two logs onto each cookie sheet, ensuring there is at least 2 inches of space between each log. Press down on the logs until they are approximately 3 inches wide.

  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the biscotti bars are firm but not crisp. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for at least 10 minutes.

  11. Transfer the biscotti bars to a cutting board and use a serrated knife to slice them diagonally into 3/4 inch wide pieces.

  12. Place the slices back

Baking Tips for Success

To ensure your Nutty Pina Colada Biscotti turns out perfectly every time, here are a few baking tips:

  1. Toast the almonds before adding them to the dough to bring out their natural nuttiness and enhance their flavor.
