Ingredients
Scale
- 200 grams high-quality dark chocolate (for melting)
- 200 grams plain biscuits (for crunch and texture)
- 100 grams chopped nuts (almonds or hazelnuts)
- 100 grams powdered sugar (for sweetness and binding)
- 30 grams cocoa powder (to enhance chocolate flavor)
- 1 large egg (to bind ingredients)
- 100 grams unsalted butter (for richness)
- Cocoa powder or powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Begin by breaking the dark chocolate into small pieces and melting it in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth and fully melted.
- In a large mixing bowl, crumble the plain biscuits until they are fine crumbs. Add the chopped nuts, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder, mixing until well combined.
- Once the chocolate has melted, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly. In another bowl, beat the egg and then add it along with the melted chocolate and unsalted butter to the dry mixture. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly combined, creating a thick dough.
- Take a portion of the mixture and place it on a sheet of plastic wrap. Shape it into a log, wrapping it tightly in the plastic. Repeat this with the remaining mixture until you have formed all portions of salami.
- Place the wrapped logs in the refrigerator for at least 240 minutes, or until they are firm. This step is crucial for ensuring the dessert holds its shape.
- Once fully chilled, remove the chocolate salami from the fridge. Unwrap the plastic wrap, and roll it in either cocoa powder or powdered sugar for a polished finish. Slice into rounds and serve!
Notes
Chocolate Salami can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Consider pairing it with fresh berries or vanilla ice cream for an enhanced experience.
