Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Salami Ingredients

  • 1 lb biscuit cookies
  • 1/2 cup cacao powder
  • 200 g unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup condensed milk
  • 1/3 cup dulce de leche
  • 1 cup pecans
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients ensuring the unsalted butter is at room temperature to soften for easy mixing.
  2. Process Biscuits and Cocoa: Place biscuit cookies in a blender or food processor and pulse to roughly chop into small pieces, leaving some chunks for texture. Add cacao powder and pulse a few more times to combine well.
  3. Mix Butter and Sweeteners: Transfer the mixture to a bowl, then add softened butter, dulce de leche, and condensed milk. Stir thoroughly to create a cohesive, spreadable mixture.
  4. Add Pecans: Break the pecans into smaller chunks and fold them gently into the chocolate mixture, ensuring even distribution.
  5. Shape the Log: Spoon about one cup of the mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Shape it into a tight log, then wrap it firmly to hold its shape.
  6. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the wrapped logs for several hours or freeze until firm and set up enough to slice cleanly.
  7. Finish and Serve: Once set, unwrap the Chocolate Salami and dust the surface generously with powdered sugar. Slice and serve chilled for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is at room temperature for smooth mixing.
  • Roughly chopping biscuits leaves delightful texture contrasts in the salami.
  • Freezing speeds up firming but allow to soften slightly before slicing.
  • Use parchment paper as an alternative to plastic wrap for a more eco-friendly option.
  • Store leftovers wrapped in refrigerator and consume within a week.
