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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Step 5: Chill until firm – Refrigerate the wrapped log for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
- 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.
