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
- Prepare Ingredients: Break the cookies into small pieces and coarsely chop some shelled, unsalted pistachios. Mix them together in a bowl and set aside.
- 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.
- Combine Mixture: Pour the melted chocolate and pistachio butter mixture over the cookie and chopped pistachio pieces, mixing thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly.
- 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.
- Freeze: Place the wrapped salami in the freezer for at least 2 hours until it sets firm.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
