- 1.4 oz pistachio chunks
- 1.8 oz sugar
- 5.3 oz butter
- 2 eggs

Preparation of White Chocolate and Pistachio Salami
Melt the white chocolate in a bain-marie or in the microwave. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool.
Crumble the plain biscuits coarsely in a bowl.
Meanwhile, in another bowl, cream the butter with electric beaters. Then, add the sugar and continue beating.
Next, add one egg at a time, continuing to beat with the electric beaters, until you get a smooth and homogeneous cream.
Pour the melted chocolate into the cream and mix well with a spatula. Add the crumbled biscuits and pistachios and knead everything together.
Place the mixture on a sheet of parchment paper and use the spatula to form a cylinder. Roll it in the paper and close the ends well.
Place the white chocolate and pistachio salami on a tray and let it rest in the refrigerator overnight.
After the resting time, remove the parchment paper and sprinkle the chocolate salami with powdered sugar. Serve cut into thick slices.
