Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 200g good quality dark chocolate
  • 150g crunchy tea biscuits or shortbread cookies, crushed into bite-sized pieces
  • 100g unsalted butter
  • 50g powdered sugar (plus extra for rolling)
  • Optional: 1 egg yolk
  • 75g chopped nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, or walnuts)
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Melt the chocolate and butter – Gently melt the dark chocolate and butter together using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth and glossy to form the base mixture.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the dry ingredients – Crush the biscuits into bite-sized pieces and roughly chop the nuts to ensure a good balance of texture.
  3. Step 3: Combine everything – Mix the melted chocolate blend with the biscuits, nuts, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and optional egg yolk. Stir thoroughly to evenly coat all ingredients.
  4. Step 4: Shape the salami – Place the mixture onto parchment or plastic wrap and shape it into a 2-3 inch thick log. Wrap tightly and twist the ends to secure the shape.
  5. Step 5: Chill until firm – Refrigerate the wrapped log for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
  6. Step 6: Finish and slice – Unwrap and gently roll the chilled salami in powdered sugar to mimic salami mold. Slice into coins and serve.

Notes

  • Melt chocolate slowly at low heat to avoid burning or seizing.
  • Use a mix of biscuit sizes to create varied crunch in each bite.
  • Wrap the salami tightly to prevent air pockets and maintain shape.
  • Taste the mixture before chilling and adjust sugar to your liking.
  • Choose high-quality chocolate for richer flavor.
