Whether it’s for a party, a gathering with friends, or simply an indulgence for yourself, this dessert is the perfect choice!

Total preparation time: 15 minutes
Chilling time: at least 4 hours (ideally overnight)
Number of servings: 8-10 servings

Necessary ingredients:

- 100 g biscuits (Petit Beurre is recommended, but you can also use digestive biscuits)
- 2 tablespoons roasted, chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon roasted, chopped hazelnuts
- 100 g chocolate with 55% cocoa (70% can also be used for a more intense flavor)
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 30 g butter
- 1 tablespoon rum or rum essence
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee

Step-by-step preparation:

1. Preparing the chocolate cream: In a saucepan, add the heavy cream and butter. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until the mixture reaches a boil. It’s important not to let it boil too long to avoid separation.

2. Melting the chocolate: In a large bowl, add the chopped chocolate, instant coffee, and rum. When the hot cream is ready, carefully pour it over the chocolate mixture. Let the mixture sit for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.

3. Mixing: After 2 minutes, use a whisk or spatula to mix well until you obtain a smooth cream. Make sure there are no chocolate chunks left, and the cream is smooth.

4. Adding the biscuits and nuts: Now, add the crushed biscuits, walnuts, and hazelnuts to the chocolate cream. Mix well so that all ingredients are well incorporated. This mixture will give the dessert a crunchy texture and a delicious flavor.

5. Forming the salami: Line a small tray with plastic wrap, letting the edges hang slightly over the edge of the tray. Pour the mixture into the tray and level the surface with a spatula, ensuring it is even.

6. Chilling: Cover the salami with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours; it’s best to leave it overnight. This chilling time will allow the ingredients to set and the flavors to meld.

7. Serving: Once the salami has set, carefully remove it from the tray and cut it into slices. You can dust it with cocoa or powdered sugar for a more elegant appearance.

Useful tips for a perfect result:

- Choose quality biscuits: The biscuits greatly influence the final taste. Opt for biscuits with a higher butter content for a richer result.
- Personalize the flavors: You can add cinnamon or vanilla essence for an extra flavor boost. You can also experiment with different types of nuts, such as almonds or pistachios.
- Check the temperature: Ensure that the cream doesn’t boil too much, as it can affect the texture of the cream.

Nutritional benefits:

This recipe is not only a delicious dessert but also contains ingredients with nutritional benefits. Nuts are rich in essential fatty acids, protein, and antioxidants, while dark chocolate contains flavonoids that may help improve heart health. Coffee adds not only an intense flavor but also antioxidants that can help boost energy and improve mood.

Ideal pairings:

This cookie salami with coffee pairs perfectly with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or a fragrant herbal tea. You can also serve it alongside vanilla ice cream for a refreshing contrast or with caramel sauce for a decadent dessert.
