Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 75 grams granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 200 grams digestive biscuits or tea biscuits
- 50 grams chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, hazelnuts, or walnuts)
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Place the dark chocolate, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler). Stir occasionally until everything is melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
Stir in the milk and mix until incorporated. Let the mixture cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
While the chocolate mixture is cooling, break the digestive biscuits into small pieces (about the size of a peanut) using your hands or a rolling pin. Avoid turning them into crumbs; the chunks will provide texture.
Fold the broken biscuits and chopped nuts into the melted chocolate mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Place a large sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper on your work surface. Spoon the mixture onto the wrap and shape it into a rough log using a spatula or your hands.
Wrap the log tightly in the plastic wrap or parchment paper, shaping it further into a sausage-like cylinder. Twist the ends of the wrap tightly and secure them.
Refrigerate the chocolate sausage for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm.
Once chilled, remove the sausage from the wrap and roll it in powdered sugar to give it a 'cured sausage' appearance.
Slice into thin rounds and serve. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a week.
