Instructions
- Break the cookies into chunks using your hands, or place them in a freezer bag and gently break them with a rolling pin. Do not crush them.
- Whisk the softened butter with the sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds, give it a stir, then repeat, until the chocolate has fully melted. Allow the chocolate to cool, then whisk it with the butter mixture together with the milk ( and rum if using).
- Add the cookie chunks, then stir all the ingredients until combined.
- Place the mixture on a sheet of parchment paper, and using your hands, shape it into a log. Once you have given the right shape, roll it in the baking paper and twist the ends to form a large candy.
- Refrigerate for at least 2- 3 hours, then unwrap the salami and dust with powdered sugar.
- You can serve it sliced accompanied by a dollop of pastry cream, or you can serve it whole on a wooden board.
Notes
- STORAGE TIPS
- Store the chocolate salami wrapped in plastic wrap or parchment paper, in the refrigerator for 5-6 days.
- It freezes beautifully, so it's a great make-ahead dessert for the Christmas holidays.
- You can freeze the chocolate salami for up to one month in advance.
- To defrost, let it thaw in the fridge overnight, then leave it at room temperature for an hour before slicing.
- Don't crush the cookies too much or blend them, as it will result in a hard chocolate salami that it will crumble as you slice it.
- Cut the butter into chunks and allow them to soften for at least 30 minutes before making the cookie dough. The butter must be soft but not melted.
- Make sure to let the melted chocolate cool down slightly before use.
- You can roll the chocolate log into powdered sugar, then wrap it in baking paper and refrigerate it, or dust the powdered sugar just before serving it.
- Let it rest for 10 minutes on the kitchen counter before serving, it will make it easier to slice it.
