The chocolate salami with pistachios is a new variation of this dessert that I love. It is prepared easily and very quickly and does not require baking. A slice after lunch or dinner will allow you to end your meal on a sweet note. However, I can never limit myself to just one slice. Darn it! Knowing it’s in the freezer, any moment is good to munch on it.

Ingredients for Chocolate Salami with Pistachios
- 10.5 oz Digestive biscuits (or plain cookies)
- 7 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 6 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup pistachios (shelled)
- 1 egg (medium)
- 2 tbsp Marsala (30 ml)
Tools
- 1 Bowl large
- Electric whisk
- Sieve fine mesh
- Parchment paper
Preparation of Chocolate Salami with Pistachios
Remove the butter from the fridge, cut it into pieces, and let it soften at room temperature. It should only be soft but not melted.
Coarsely chop the pistachios. I recommend doing this with a knife because using a food processor might turn them into flour.
Also crumble the biscuits.
In a large bowl, place the sugar and egg and beat them with electric whisks until you get a light and fluffy mixture.
Add the now softened butter and work again with the whisks.
Then add the unsweetened cocoa by sifting it through a fine mesh sieve and incorporate it into the mixture with a spatula.
Flavor the dough with the liqueur: I used Marsala because it’s the only one I like, but rum is also fine. If you are making this dessert for children, you can omit it.
At this point, add the plain cookies and mix until they are perfectly blended into the dough.
Finally, add the chopped pistachios.
Transfer the obtained mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper and shape it into the classic salami form.
Wrap it in the parchment paper, roll the ends tightly, and place it in the freezer for at least two hours. Enjoy! Paola
