US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Place the cookies in a ziplock and crush them, using a rolling pin.
Make sure the cookies are broken into chunks and not completely crushed. Set aside.
Roughly chop the pistachios and keep aside.
In a large bowl, melt the chocolate and butter together until melted and smooth.
Add the milk and mix well.
Add the crushed cookies and chopped pistachios. Mix well.
Spread the mixture on plastic wrap or parchment paper and shape it into a log. Twist the ends of the wrap tightly, like a candy wrapper.
Place the log in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until solid.
When the chocolate has set, remove the paper and dust the log liberally with icing sugar.
Slice and serve. Enjoy!
You can store sliced chocolate salami in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Make sure you start with room-temperature ingredients.
Chocolate salami is meant to be textured: crispy, crunchy, and chocolatey. So don’t crush the cookies into a fine powder. Keep them chunky.
You can use a double boiler or microwave to melt the chocolate for this no-bake salami dessert.
When you’re rolling the chocolate into a log to make it compact and tight, so there are no pockets of air.
If you want a neater look, wrap tightly in plastic wrap or baking paper.
This is a no-cook, no-bake chocolate biscuit roll, but it does need to rest in the refrigerator. Give it at least 4 hours or more. Trust me, it’ll be easier to cut, and the salami cookies won’t crumble.
They pack well, which makes them perfect for Christmas cookie swaps or just homemade holiday gifts. Put in baggies, tie with a string, and add to the basket!
Storage: In an airtight container, chocolate salami keeps well in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 weeks. You can even freeze the uncut salami dessert for a month. Thaw in the fridge before you cut and serve.
Serve: Coat the chocolate salami with icing sugar and serve thick slices as-is or with whipped cream after dinner. Or you can serve it as a snack with a cup of tea or coffee.
