Chocolate Salami

We add the crushed biscuits to the chocolate mixture, then add the chopped pistachios.

We sprinkle a little more cocoa powder before serving for an elegant touch.

We serve the slices on a plate, and optionally top each one with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

We slice the salami into individual servings.

We dust the outside of the chocolate salami with cocoa powder to give it a realistic salami appearance.

After chilling, we remove the log from the fridge and unwrap it.

We roll the log tightly in the foil and place it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours to firm up.

We shape the mixture into a log (salami shape) using the foil.

We place a sheet of aluminum foil on the countertop and pour the mixture onto it.

If needed, we add more biscuit pieces to reach a moldable texture and mix again.

Using a spatula, we mix everything together until all ingredients are evenly combined.

We chop 150 grams of dark chocolate into small pieces using a knife and cutting board, then place it in a bowl.

We crush 350 grams of plain biscuits into small pieces using our hands or a kitchen tool.

We remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly.

We sift in 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and whisk again until the mixture is thick and glossy.

Using a whisk, we stir the mixture continuously until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture becomes smooth.

We add the chopped dark chocolate to the pan.

We add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 teaspoons of instant coffee to the mixture.

We pour in 2 cups of milk over the melted butter.

We place a saucepan over heat and add 100 grams of unsalted butter.

We chop ½ cup of pistachios into small chunks and set them aside.
