Gourmet Biscotti Is An Ideal Dessert

By Lisa Williamson


The coffee craze is still going strong many years after franchise and independent coffee shops have seemed to pop up everywhere. For those who do not know, these places serve a wide variety of beverages that range from teas to blended drinks that can be enjoyed by all ages. Many customers like to have gourmet biscotti to accompany these beverages.

These come in many varieties and flavors. Some are small or bite-sized, have a brittle or dense consistency, or are about half a foot long with nuts like almonds. Flavors range from vanilla, which has a subtle flavor to lavender to extreme flavor combinations that uses nuts, chocolate, and caramel or peanut butter ganache.

While most coffee shops serve baked goods, these have a lot of fat and calories and can be a little heavy due to the amount of sugar used. Although biscotti contain sugar, it is relatively low compared to a cupcake or pie slice. People who want to cut back on their sugar intake may find this to be good news, and biscotti are great for dipping into coffee.

These treats also lend themselves well to other hot and cold drinks besides coffee. Teas, hot chocolate, or special blended drinks are also good companions, as these treats do not cancel out the taste of the beverage. Even light herbal teas are complemented with biscotti and there is no loss in flavor.

Lovers of biscotti probably realize that to buy one or two on a daily basis adds up over time. People who like to bake may want to experiment with a recipe or two but others who just want that great taste may look to sellers that offer many flavors. One box may cost half of the price of getting single biscotti from a coffee retailer.

Buying a box not only saves money but also it allows one to have as many varieties at their convenience. Having coffee at home sometimes has its advantages like not having to drive or walk. Biscotti are also a great way to entertain those who may stop to socialize while having coffee or tea. It is becoming a popular choice because of the low amounts of fat and sugar, which can give some a heavy feeling.

For those that are adventurous, there are unusual flavors like spice, licorice, or those made with lavender. People who really like dessert may find flavors like pecan pie or pumpkin spice a little more appealing. There are some sellers who may sell these as a way to diversify but often the traditional mocha or vanilla bean is found at franchise operations.

Having a box within reach is also great for times when a person has a sweet craving. Often, these are individually wrapped so they are great when traveling or as a treat for kids that is not loaded down with sugar. Not just limited to coffee or tea drinking, this tasty treat is becoming popular as people enjoy the many flavors on the market.
