Chocolate Salami
Description
Chocolate Salami combines biscuit cookie pieces with cocoa powder, softened butter, condensed milk, dulce de leche, and pecans. The cookie pieces provide texture within the dense, sweet chocolate mixture, while the dulce de leche and condensed milk add creamy caramel and milky sweetness. It's shaped into a log, wrapped tightly, and chilled to set into a firm but sliceable confection.
The dessert does not require baking, relying on chilling to solidify. It has a firm but tender texture with a combination of smooth chocolate flavor and crunchy nutty bits. The final product is dusted with powdered sugar to mimic the look of a cured meat salami.
Chocolate Salami is served sliced as a sweet treat or snack. Its make-ahead nature makes it convenient for parties or gifts. The pecans add a nutty crunch that contrasts with the soft chocolaty filling for balanced mouthfeel.
Ingredients
- 1 lb biscuit cookie
- 1/2 cup cacao powder
- 200 g butter room temperature, unsalted
- 1/2 cup condensed milk
- 1/3 cup dulce de leche
- 1 cup pecans
Instructions
- Prepare all your ingredients for the chocolate salami. Make sure that your butter is at room temperature.
- Using a blender or food processor, rough chop biscuit cookies into small pieces. Don't worry if there are little chunks left over, they will add to the character of the sausages. Add cacao powder and give a couple more pulses to combine.
- Add butter, dulce de leche, and condensed milk. Mix to combine. Break pecans into smaller chunks and stir in.
- Scoop out one cup of mixture onto a prepared plastic wrap or parchment paper. Shape into a log and wrap tightly.
- Refrigerate sausages for a few hours or freeze until they harden.
- Dust with powdered sugar before slicing.
