Ingredients:
200g digestive biscuits or any plain tea biscuits
100g dark chocolate (70% cocoa or your preferred type)
50g unsalted butter
3 tablespoons sugar (adjust based on sweetness preference)
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
50g chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts)
1/4 cup milk (or any dairy-free alternative like almond milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Directions:
Prepare the Biscuit Mixture: Break the biscuits into small pieces or crush them into chunks. You can do this by placing them in a plastic bag and gently rolling a rolling pin over them to crush.
Melt the Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate with butter. You can do this over a double boiler or in the microwave in short intervals, stirring each time until smooth.
Add Dry Ingredients: To the melted chocolate mixture, add sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined.
Combine with Biscuits and Nuts: Add the crushed biscuits and chopped nuts to the chocolate mixture. Stir gently to ensure the biscuits are coated with the chocolate mixture. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to maintain the texture of the biscuits.
Shape the Salami: Transfer the mixture onto a piece of parchment paper or cling film. Shape it into a log, pressing the mixture firmly together. You can adjust the size based on your preference (a thicker log will create a thicker slice). Wrap the log tightly and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours or until set.
Serving: Once set, dust the chocolate salami with powdered sugar (if desired) for an extra touch of sweetness. Slice into rounds and serve.

Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: This dessert is best served chilled. Slice the chocolate salami into 1/2-inch thick rounds for a perfect bite. It pairs wonderfully with a cup of tea or coffee and can be enjoyed at any time of the day.
Storage: Store the eggless chocolate salami in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to 5 days. You can also freeze it for up to 1 month, but make sure it’s wrapped tightly to prevent freezer burn.
Variations:
Vegan Chocolate Salami: To make this recipe fully vegan, substitute the butter with dairy-free margarine or coconut oil, and use plant-based milk like almond or oat milk.
Add Dried Fruit: Enhance the texture and flavor by adding dried fruits such as raisins, cranberries, or apricots to the mixture.
Spiced Chocolate Salami: For an extra kick, add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or chili powder to the chocolate mixture. These spices can give the salami an interesting flavor profile.
Nut-Free Version: If you have nut allergies or prefer a smoother texture, simply omit the chopped nuts. The salami will still be delicious and have a lovely crunch from the biscuits.
