Ingredients

Scale
  • 7 oz (200g) dark chocolate (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cubed)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg (optional, or substitute with 2 tbsp milk for egg-free version)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 7 oz (200g) plain biscuits or cookies (e.g., Digestive, Tea Biscuits, or Graham Crackers), broken into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, hazelnuts, or almonds)
  • 1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

Prepare the Mixture:

  1. Melt the Chocolate and Butter:
    • In a heatproof bowl set over simmering water (double boiler), melt the dark chocolate and butter together until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients:
    • Whisk the sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until dissolved. Add the egg (or milk) and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
    • Stir in the broken biscuits, chopped nuts, and dried fruits (if using) until evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.

Shape the Salami:

  1. Form the Log:
    • Lay a large piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper on the counter. Spoon the mixture onto the center and shape it into a log, about 8-10 inches long. Wrap it tightly, twisting the ends to seal, and roll it gently to smooth the shape.
  2. Chill:
    • Refrigerate the chocolate salami for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

Serve:

  1. Dust with Powdered Sugar:
    • Once chilled, unwrap the log and dust it generously with powdered sugar to mimic the appearance of salami. Slice into 1/2-inch rounds to serve.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add 1-2 tbsp of rum or orange liqueur to the chocolate mixture.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to a month.
  • Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing for easier cutting.
