Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare your biscuits
- Crush half of them into a fine crumb using a rolling pin or food processor. Break the other half by hand into larger, pea-sized pieces.
- Combine the fine crumbs, larger biscuit pieces, and chopped walnuts in a large mixing bowl.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, and milk until smooth.
- Place the saucepan over low heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from the heat and add the softened butter. Stir until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is glossy and smooth.
- Pour the warm chocolate mixture over the biscuits and walnuts. Mix with a spatula until everything is well-coated.
- Lay out a large piece of plastic wrap on your counter. Spoon the mixture onto it in a line.
- Shape the mixture into a tight log, about 2 inches (5cm) in diameter. Roll it tightly in the plastic wrap, twisting the ends to seal and compact the log.
- Place the log in the freezer for at least 3 hours, or until it is completely firm.
- Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make slicing easier. Unwrap and cut into 1/2-inch (1.5cm) thick rounds.
Recipe Notes
- The total time for this recipe includes a minimum of 3 hours for chilling in the freezer.
- For an even more authentic look, lightly dust the log with powdered sugar before slicing to mimic the look of a real salami.
- Feel free to customize by adding other nuts like pistachios, or a handful of dried cherries for extra flavor and texture.
