The perfect boozy accompaniment to your morning coffee.

Guide

This guide uses sponge cake, but the best is using off cuts or flopped sponge cake that you would ordinarily throw out. We don’t like food waste so we created this little guide.

Provisions Guide

  • Your favourite liqueur - we used Strega.

  • Sponge cake off cuts, flopped sponge cake or a whole sponge cake. Go all CWA!

Preparation

  1. PREHEAT oven to 140 Deg C.

  2. CUT the sponge cake into fingers and place onto a lined tray.

  3. DRIZZLE liqueur on fingers, easiest with a pastry brush. (You may feel like dousing the sponge in liqueur, we did too however the wetter the sponge the longer it takes to become crispy and biscotti like)

  4. PLACE trays into the oven for approx 30 mins or until the biscotti are hard. The longer you leave it the harder and darker it becomes. Check after 20 mins as each oven is different.

  5. DUNK in your favourite morning coffee for an extra kick.
