Italian classic in a vegan version. These crisp and crunchy almond and cranberry biscotti are full of festive flavours and are perfect for dunking in your favourite cuppa. These will make a great Christmas gift for loved ones.
Preheat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan). Line a large baking sheet with some baking paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together both sugars, milk, olive oil, orange zest and vanilla extract.
In a separate, medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Tip the dry ingredients into the wet and stir until it forms a rough dough. Add the almonds and cranberries and fold them until well combined.
Tip the mixture into a well-floured surface. Make sure your hands are well-floured too. Divide the dough into two pieces, then shape each piece into a rough log (about 5cm wide). Use the dough scraper if you have one, as it will make this process much easier. Transfer each log into the baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, until lightly browned.
Remove the logs from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 160°C. Place the logs onto the chopping board and using large, serrated knife, cut the logs into slices, about 2cm thick. Place the logs into the baking sheet, cut side down and bake again for 6 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Allow the biscuits to cool, then dip one end of each biscotti in melted white chocolate. Allow the chocolate to set for few minutes, then drizzle some melted dark chocolate on top, in a zigzag pattern, if you would like.
TOP TIP
Biscotti have long shelf-life and will make a great festive gift for friends and family. Place them in a festive bag or a small box, tie with a festive ribbon, and voila – your edible gift is ready!

Two of our favourite fruity flavours in one delicious scone triangle!
Here`s how to make them:
Ingredients
For the scones
3 tbsp Tate & Lyle Granulated Sugar
Zest of one lemon
175g self raising flour
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp baking powder
45g unsalted butter
80ml milk
1½ tsp lemon juice (squeeze fresh from the zested lemon)
100g blueberries
A little milk, for brushing the scones
For the glaze (optional)
80g Tate & Lyle Icing Sugar
2-3 tsp lemon juice
Method
Preheat the oven to 200C/390F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, rub the Tate & Lyle Granulated Sugar and lemon zest together.
Add in the flour, salt and baking powder, stirring everything together.
Tip in the butter and rub in until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Separately in a jug, mix together the milk and lemon juice. Pour into the flour mixture and roughly bring together. Add in the blueberries and mix through evenly, bringing the dough together.
Lightly flour your worktop then tip the dough out, squeezing together to form a disc about 1” thick. Cut into eight wedges, then transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly brush the tops of each scone with a little milk, then bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until the scones are baked and golden on top.
For the glaze, mix together the Tate & Lyle Icing Sugar and as much lemon juice as required to achieve the consistency you like. Drizzle over the scones and enjoy!
Yet another dessert mash-up... and this time it`s Battenburg Blondies!
A delicious marzipan chessboard you can`t help but make a move for, it`s your favourite cake with an irresistible new texture...
Serves: 16
Ingredients:
200g unsalted butter
125g Tate & Lyle Caster Sugar
125g Tate & Lyle Soft Light Brown Sugar
¼ tsp salt
¾ tsp almond extract
2 large eggs
225g plain flour, sifted
75g ground almonds
Pink food colouring
6 mini Battenberg cakes (optional)
Method
Preheat the oven to 180ºC (fan oven). Line an 8” square loose-bottomed tin with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, add in the butter and both sugars. Heat in 20-second bursts in the microwave until completely melted. Whisk the ingredients together until fully combined. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes.
Stir in the salt and almond extract, then whisk in the eggs one at a time until completely combined. Tip in the flour and ground almonds and mix again until completely combined.
Divide the blondie mixture equally between two bowls. Colour one of them pink using some food colouring, then transfer both into piping bags. Pipe alternating lines of the mixture in the tin, covering the bottom and using about half of the batter to do so. Shake the tin or use a small knife or spatula to help level the batter, then pipe a second layer of blondie mixture on top of the first, topping the pink lines with plain batter and the plain with pink. Again, shake the tin a little to level the top and fill in any gaps. Don’t worry too much, it will also spread during baking in the oven.
Once all the blondie mixture has been piped, place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The blondie is done when the top is pale golden and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean or with a few damp crumbs. Cool completely before slicing.
Once cooled, slice the blondie into 16 squares. Top with a couple of slices of mini Battenberg cake if you wish, using a little apricot jam to hold it in place.
Enjoy!
We know you can`t keep up with all these smashed together recipes, but this one`s simple and stunning, we promise!
Introducing the Brondie, a gooey comforting brownie mix of milk, dark and white chocolate.
Because when you can`t choose between baking brownies or blondies... we say just have both!
You don`t even need to dip these in your tea... though we`re sure you will anyway!
Infused with Earl Grey and lemon, these fragrant and floral biscuits are something a little different if you can bear to part with the chocolate digestives...
Recipe below:
Prep Time – 30 mins (4 hours to chill)
Yield – 12 – 16 (dependant on the size of your cutters)
Ingredients
Biscuits
50g Tate & Lyle Fair Trade – Pure Cane Icing sugar
250g unsalted butter
2 tbsp of Earl Grey Tea Leaves
220g plain flour
Pinch of salt
Icing
A squeeze of lemon
100g Tate & Lyle Fair Trade – Pure Cane Icing sugar
Instructions
Combine your tea leaves and butter, leaving overnight preferably to infuse. You can cover in a bowl and leave to the side as this mix shouldn’t be chilled.
Add your butter mix to a bowl your sugar and combine, then add the flour salt until a dough forms
Roll out your dough mix until even – about half an inch thick and cut with your biscuit cutter.
Pop onto a baking sheet and into a preheated oven at 180°C/ 160°C fan/ gas mark 4/ 350°F and bake for 15 mins. Keep and eye on them as they can burn quickly.
Whilst they cool make your icing and then drizzle generously once the biscuits are completely cold.
