Ingredients

• 200 grams Dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 75 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 200 grams Digestive or tea biscuits
• 50 grams Chopped nuts (e.g., hazelnuts, almonds, or pistachios, optional)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Rum or orange liqueur (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Place the dark chocolate and unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl. Melt them together using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Stir in the melted chocolate-butter mixture until well combined.

Step 3

Break the digestive or tea biscuits into small pieces, roughly 1–2 cm in size. Add the biscuit pieces to the chocolate mixture and stir until they are fully coated.

Step 4

If using nuts, chop them coarsely and fold them into the mixture. Add rum or orange liqueur, if desired, and mix well.

Step 5

Lay a large piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper on a flat surface. Spoon the chocolate mixture into the center and shape it into a rough log.

Step 6

Wrap the log tightly with the plastic wrap or parchment paper, rolling and shaping it into a cylindrical salami-like form. Twist the ends to seal.

Step 7

Refrigerate the chocolate salami for at least 3 hours or until firm.

Step 8

Once the salami is set, remove it from the refrigerator and unwrap it. Dust the exterior lightly with powdered sugar for a realistic salami appearance.

Step 9

Slice into 1 cm thick rounds and serve chilled. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
