Chocolate Salami with Hazelnuts and Pistachios – Easy No-Bake Dessert Recipe

Directions

• Preparation
  
  Start by placing the pistachios and hazelnuts in a blender. Pulse them briefly until they turn into small crunchy pieces but not powder. Transfer them to a bowl and set aside. Take a large mixing bowl and crush the butter biscuits into uneven small pieces using your hands. The different biscuit sizes create a more authentic salami texture after slicing. Add the crushed nuts and cocoa powder to the biscuits. Mix thoroughly so the cocoa spreads evenly between all ingredients. Finely chop the dark chocolate into very small chunks and add it to the mixture. Stir carefully until everything is evenly combined.
• Mixing
  
  Slowly pour the sweetened condensed milk into the bowl while continuously stirring with a wooden spoon. Mix patiently until the ingredients form a moist and homogeneous chocolate mixture. The texture should hold together without becoming too soft or runny. Prepare a large sheet of parchment paper on the kitchen counter. Transfer the mixture onto the paper and shape it into a long thick roll similar in size to traditional salami. Press firmly while shaping so the mixture becomes compact and slices cleanly later.
• Finishing
  
  Wrap the parchment paper tightly around the chocolate mixture and roll it carefully until a firm salami shape forms. Twist both ends of the parchment paper like a candy wrapper to secure the shape. Place the chocolate salami in the refrigerator overnight so it becomes firm and easy to cut. The next day, carefully remove the parchment paper. Pour melted dark chocolate over the salami as a topping and spread it evenly. Dust generously with powdered sugar to create the traditional salami appearance. Decorate with mini jelly fruit pieces for extra color and sweetness.
• Serving
  
  Slice the chocolate salami into medium thick pieces using a sharp knife. Serve chilled with coffee, cappuccino, espresso, tea, or dessert wine. This dessert is perfect for holiday tables, birthdays, or afternoon gatherings with friends and family. The texture becomes even richer after several hours in the refrigerator, making it an excellent make-ahead dessert. Store leftovers wrapped tightly in the refrigerator and serve cold for the best texture and flavor.
