Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 lb biscuit cookies
  • 1/2 cup cacao powder
  • 1 cup pecans

Wet Ingredients

  • 200 g unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup condensed milk
  • 1/3 cup dulce de leche

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and ensure the butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.
  2. Break Cookies: Place biscuit cookies in a blender or food processor and roughly chop them into small pieces; small cookie chunks should remain to add texture.
  3. Add Cocoa: Add the cocoa powder to the chopped cookies and pulse a few more times just to combine evenly.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: Transfer the cookie and cocoa mixture to a bowl. Add softened butter, condensed milk, and dulce de leche, mixing thoroughly to create a consistent batter.
  5. Add Pecans: Break pecans into smaller chunks and gently fold them into the mixture for added crunch.
  6. Shape the Log: Place about one cup of the mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper; shape it into a tight log and wrap it securely.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the chocolate salami logs for several hours or freeze until they harden and are firm enough to slice.
  8. Serve: Before serving, dust the logs with powdered sugar to give the appearance of a salami casing and slice into rounds.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature unsalted butter to ensure a smooth mixture.
  • Do not overprocess the cookies; keeping chunks intact enhances texture.
  • The dessert can be refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • Substitute pecans with other nuts like walnuts or almonds to vary the flavor and texture.
  • Use dark cocoa powder for a richer chocolate taste.
  • Dusting with powdered sugar is optional but enhances the traditional salami look.
