Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 75 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 200 grams Digestive or tea biscuits
- 50 grams Chopped nuts (e.g., hazelnuts, almonds, or pistachios, optional)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Rum or orange liqueur (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Place the dark chocolate and unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl. Melt them together using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Stir in the melted chocolate-butter mixture until well combined.
Break the digestive or tea biscuits into small pieces, roughly 1–2 cm in size. Add the biscuit pieces to the chocolate mixture and stir until they are fully coated.
If using nuts, chop them coarsely and fold them into the mixture. Add rum or orange liqueur, if desired, and mix well.
Lay a large piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper on a flat surface. Spoon the chocolate mixture into the center and shape it into a rough log.
Wrap the log tightly with the plastic wrap or parchment paper, rolling and shaping it into a cylindrical salami-like form. Twist the ends to seal.
Refrigerate the chocolate salami for at least 3 hours or until firm.
Once the salami is set, remove it from the refrigerator and unwrap it. Dust the exterior lightly with powdered sugar for a realistic salami appearance.
Slice into 1 cm thick rounds and serve chilled. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
