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 shelled, unsalted pistachios (1 oz), coarsely chopped

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a bowl, mix the broken cookies and coarsely chopped pistachios. Set aside.
2. Step 2: Finely chop the white chocolate and melt it gently in a double boiler with the coconut oil. Remove from heat as soon as it starts melting to avoid burning.

5. Step 5: Lay two sheets of plastic wrap on top of each other. Pour the mixture onto the plastic wrap and shape it into a log.
6. Step 6: For a neater shape, roll the log inside a sushi mat, secure with a rubber band, and then wrap again tightly with plastic wrap.
7. Step 7: Freeze the wrapped salami for at least 2 hours or until it is firm and set.
8. Step 8: While the salami is freezing, finely chop the remaining pistachios for coating.
9. Step 9: Once set, unwrap the salami carefully and roll it in the finely chopped pistachios until fully coated.
10. Step 10: Let the salami thaw at room temperature for about 15 minutes before slicing to achieve the best texture.
11. Step 11: Slice and enjoy this rich, nutty dessert with family and friends.

Tips & Variations

• Use high-quality white chocolate for a smoother, creamier taste.
• If you prefer a sweeter flavor, feel free to adjust the powdered sugar amount to your liking.
• For additional crunch, try adding chopped dried fruit like cranberries or apricots to the mix.
• Rolling the log inside a sushi mat helps create a uniform, professional shape but is optional.

Storage

Store the pistachio and white chocolate salami wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, keep it frozen and thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving. To reheat slightly, let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before slicing.

FAQs

Can I use other nut butters instead of pistachio butter?

Yes, almond or cashew butter can be good substitutes, but they will change the flavor profile slightly.

Do I need a sushi mat to shape the salami?

No, a sushi mat helps in shaping but you can also use your hands and plastic wrap to form a log without it.

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)
• 75 g Finely chopped pistachios for coating (2.6 oz)

Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients: Break the cookies into small pieces and coarsely chop some shelled, unsalted pistachios. Mix them together in a bowl and set aside.
2. Melt Chocolate: Finely chop the white chocolate and melt it using a double boiler along with the coconut oil. Remove from heat once the chocolate begins to melt to prevent burning. If using unsweetened pistachio butter, add the powdered sugar now and then stir in the pistachio butter until the mixture is smooth.
3. Combine Mixture: Pour the melted chocolate and pistachio butter mixture over the cookie and chopped pistachio pieces, mixing thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly.
4. 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 form. For an even better shape, roll it inside a sushi mat, secure it with a rubber band, then wrap it again tightly with plastic wrap.
5. Freeze: Place the wrapped salami in the freezer for at least 2 hours until it sets firm.
6. Add Final Touch: Finely chop additional pistachios while the salami is freezing. Once set, carefully unwrap the log and roll it in the chopped pistachios to coat the surface completely.
7. Serve: Allow the salami to thaw at room temperature for about 15 minutes before slicing. This helps make cutting easier and maintains its creamy texture.
8. Enjoy: Slice the salami into desired thickness and enjoy the rich, nutty, and sweet flavor combination of this luxurious no-bake dessert.

Notes

• This dessert must be kept frozen or refrigerated when not serving as it contains coconut oil and white chocolate that soften at room temperature.
• Use a double boiler or a heat-safe bowl set over simmering water to melt the white chocolate gently without burning.
• Make sure to fully chill the log to get clean slices; thawing only shortly helps preserve texture.
• For a nut-free version, substitute pistachios and pistachio butter with seeds like sunflower or pumpkin but flavor and texture will differ.
• Using a sushi mat helps achieve a neat log shape but is optional. Wrapping tightly is key.
