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
- Prepare Ingredients: Ensure all ingredients are ready and the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Chop Biscuit Cookies: Using a blender or food processor, pulse the biscuit cookies until they are roughly chopped into small pieces, leaving some chunks for texture. Add the cacao powder and pulse a few more times to combine evenly with the cookie crumbs.
- Combine Mixture: Add the softened butter, dulce de leche, and condensed milk to the cookie and cacao mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Add Pecans: Break the pecans into smaller chunks and fold them into the chocolate mixture to distribute them evenly.
- Shape and Wrap: Scoop about one cup of the mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Shape it into a log resembling a sausage and wrap it tightly to maintain shape.
- Chill: Refrigerate the wrapped logs for a few hours or freeze them until they harden completely.
- Serve: Before slicing, dust the chocolate salami with powdered sugar. Slice into rounds and serve chilled.
