Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 150 g White chocolate (5.3 oz)
- 3 tsp Powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp Coconut oil, cold pressed
- 70 g Pistachio butter (2.5 oz)
- 30 g Pistachios peeled, coarsely chopped (1 oz)
- 150 g Cookies, broken into small pieces (5.3 oz)
For Coating
- 75 g Finely chopped pistachios (2.6 oz)
Instructions
- Prepare: Break the cookies into small pieces and roughly chop some shelled, unsalted pistachios. Mix them in a bowl and set aside.
- Melt chocolate: Finely chop the white chocolate and melt it in a double boiler together with the coconut oil. Once the chocolate begins to melt, remove it from the heat to prevent burning. If using unsweetened pistachio butter, add powdered sugar now, then stir in the pistachio butter until the mixture is smooth.
- Combine: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cookie and pistachio pieces. Mix well to ensure everything is well coated.
- Shape the salami: Lay two pieces of plastic wrap on top of each other. Pour the mixture onto the wrap and shape it into a log. For a better and tighter shape, roll it inside a sushi mat, secure with a rubber band, and then wrap again with plastic wrap.
- Freeze: Place the wrapped salami log in the freezer for at least 2 hours until it is fully set.
- Add final touch: While the salami is setting in the freezer, finely chop additional pistachios. After removing the log from the freezer, carefully unwrap it and roll it in the chopped pistachios to coat fully.
- Serve: Let the salami thaw for about 15 minutes before slicing to make cutting easier and preserve the creamy texture.
- Enjoy: Slice and enjoy this rich, nutty dessert that’s perfect for a sophisticated yet simple treat.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
- If you prefer a sweeter salami, adjust the powdered sugar accordingly.
- The salami must be kept frozen until set and stored in the fridge after slicing to maintain texture.
- You can substitute pistachio butter with nut butters like almond or cashew for a different twist.
- Ensure the coconut oil is cold-pressed and not flavored to maintain a neutral taste.
- Rolling the log inside a sushi mat helps achieve a compact and neat shape but is optional.
