Ingredients
Scale
- For the base:
- 200g (7 oz) plain cookies or digestive biscuits, crushed into small pieces
- 100g (3.5 oz) unsalted butter, softened
- 100g (3.5 oz) dark chocolate, melted
- 50g (1.7 oz) powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Mix-ins:
- 50g (1.7 oz) chopped nuts (e.g., hazelnuts, walnuts, or almonds)
- 50g (1.7 oz) raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookies, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. Mix well.
- Add the melted chocolate, softened butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
- Fold in the chopped nuts and dried fruit, if using.
- Shape the salami:
- Transfer the mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Form it into a log shape, about 6–8 inches long.
- Wrap the log tightly in the paper or plastic wrap and twist the ends to seal. Roll it gently on the counter to smooth out the shape.
- Chill and set:
- Place the wrapped log in the refrigerator for at least 2–3 hours, or until firm.
- Slice and serve:
- Once set, unwrap the log and dust it lightly with powdered sugar to mimic the look of salami.
- Slice into thin rounds and serve chilled.
Notes
- Substitute nuts or dried fruits with your favorite mix-ins like mini marshmallows or chopped candies.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months.
