I made a cranberry pistachio variation of this biscotti recipe and it turned out great. I also used part whole wheat flour and almond milk for some of the orange juice. I have blogged about it here: http://www.egglesscooking.com/2012/12/05/vegan-pistachio-biscotti-recipe/

These are a hit with everyone, and no one even suspects they are vegan.

I love these and have made them every year since the original recipe was published. Just cut through the block slowly and it will all work out!

i just made these and they are so good and super easy.but i should've just replaced the orange juice with water because there is no hint of orange in the end product.

These biscotti are delicious and easy to make. The batch yields loads so they are great for big dinner parties or the holiday season. I agree with Katherine, the key is to cut slowly and steadily with a very sharp knife.

I have been making these for years. I like to cut the sugar in half, less calories. The cranberries make up for the less sugar. Adding orange zest is lovely too.
