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 and coarsely chopped (1 oz)
150 g cookies (5.3 oz)
75 g finely chopped pistachios (2.6 oz), for coating

Instructions

Step 1: Break the cookies into small pieces and roughly chop the peeled, unsalted pistachios. Mix them together in a bowl and set aside.
Step 2: Finely chop the white chocolate. Melt it gently with the coconut oil using a double boiler. Remove from heat as soon as it begins to melt to prevent burning.
Step 3: If your pistachio butter is unsweetened, add the powdered sugar now. Stir in the pistachio butter until the mixture is smooth and combined.
Step 4: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cookie and pistachio pieces. Mix well to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Step 5: Lay two pieces of plastic wrap on top of each other. Transfer the mixture onto the wrap and shape it into a log.
Step 6: For a neater shape, roll the log inside a sushi mat if available. Secure it with a rubber band, then wrap it again tightly with plastic wrap.
Step 7: Place the wrapped salami in the freezer for at least 2 hours until it is firm and set.
Step 8: While the salami chills, finely chop additional pistachios. Once set, unwrap the salami carefully and roll it in the chopped pistachios until fully coated.
Step 9: Let the salami thaw for about 15 minutes before slicing to achieve the best texture and ease of cutting.
Step 10: Slice and enjoy this rich, nutty dessert that is sure to impress!

Tips & Variations

Use a sushi mat to help shape the log evenly and create a professional look.
Substitute pistachio butter with almond or hazelnut butter for a different nutty flavor.
Add a pinch of sea salt to the chocolate mixture to enhance the flavors.
For a colorful touch, mix in dried cranberries or chopped dried apricots with the cookies and nuts.

Storage

Store the wrapped salami in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Before serving, thaw it in the refrigerator or at room temperature for about 15 minutes to make slicing easier. Keep any leftovers refrigerated and consume within 3 days for the best taste.

FAQs

Can I make this recipe without coconut oil?

Yes, you can substitute coconut oil with unsalted butter or another neutral oil, but coconut oil helps the chocolate set with a smooth texture and adds a subtle flavor.

Can I use dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate?

Absolutely. Using dark or milk chocolate will change the flavor profile, making it richer or creamier. Adjust the powdered sugar if you want to balance sweetness.
