Pistachio and White Chocolate Salami Recipe

Introduction

Pistachio and White Chocolate Salami is a delightful no-bake dessert that’s both rich and crunchy. Combining creamy white chocolate with nutty pistachios and crisp cookies, it’s perfect for a special occasion or a sweet treat anytime.

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, broken into small pieces (5.3 oz)
• 75 g finely chopped pistachios for coating (2.6 oz)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Break the cookies into small pieces and roughly chop the peeled pistachios. Combine them in a bowl and set aside.
2. Step 2: Finely chop the white chocolate. Melt it gently in a double boiler along with the coconut oil. Remove from heat as soon as it begins to melt to avoid burning.
3. Step 3: If using unsweetened pistachio butter, stir in the powdered sugar, then add the pistachio butter to the melted chocolate mixture. Mix until smooth.
4. Step 4: Pour the chocolate mixture over the cookie and pistachio pieces. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
5. 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.
6. Step 6: For a neater shape, roll the log inside a sushi mat and secure it with a rubber band. Then wrap it again tightly in plastic wrap.
7. Step 7: Freeze the wrapped salami for at least 2 hours until firm.
8. Step 8: While freezing, finely chop the remaining pistachios. Once set, unwrap the salami carefully and roll it in the chopped pistachios to coat completely.
9. Step 9: Allow the salami to thaw at room temperature for about 15 minutes before slicing. This helps maintain a good texture and makes cutting easier.
10. Step 10: Slice and enjoy this luxurious, nutty dessert.

Tips & Variations

• Use a sushi mat to achieve a smooth, even log shape for a professional look.
• Substitute pistachio butter with almond or hazelnut butter for a different nutty flavor.
• Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the sweetness and balance flavors.
• For a vegan version, ensure the white chocolate is dairy-free and use vegan cookies.

Storage

Store the pistachio and white chocolate salami wrapped tightly in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, keep it frozen for up to one month. Let it thaw briefly at room temperature before serving to soften slightly.

FAQs

Can I use dark chocolate instead of white chocolate?

Yes, dark chocolate can be used for a richer and slightly less sweet salami. Adjust the sugar to taste if needed.

Do I need a sushi mat to shape the salami?

A sushi mat helps create a compact, even log, but you can also shape the salami by hand using plastic wrap. Just ensure it’s tightly rolled to hold its shape well.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Core 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, broken into small pieces (5.3 oz)

For Coating

• 75 g Finely chopped pistachios (2.6 oz)

Instructions

1. Prepare the mix: Break the cookies into small pieces and roughly chop some peeled, unsalted pistachios. Combine them in a mixing bowl and set aside.
2. Melt chocolate: 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 to melt to avoid burning. If your pistachio butter is unsweetened, stir in the powdered sugar, then incorporate the pistachio butter until the mixture is smooth.
3. Combine ingredients: Pour the melted chocolate and pistachio butter mixture over the cookie and pistachio pieces. Stir thoroughly to coat all dry ingredients evenly with the creamy chocolate mixture.
4. Shape the salami: Lay two layers of plastic wrap on your work surface. Spoon the mixed ingredients onto the wrap and shape them into a firm log shape. For a smoother, more uniform shape, roll the log inside a sushi mat, secure with a rubber band, and wrap again tightly with plastic wrap.
5. Freeze: Place the wrapped salami log in the freezer for at least 2 hours to set and firm up.
6. Coat with pistachios: While the salami sets, finely chop additional pistachios. Once the salami has fully chilled and firmed, unwrap carefully and roll it in the finely chopped pistachios to coat the outside evenly.
7. Serve: Allow the salami to thaw at room temperature for about 15 minutes before slicing to ensure a clean cut and enjoyable texture.
8. Enjoy: Slice into rounds and enjoy this rich and nutty no-bake dessert—a perfect indulgence for special occasions or anytime a luxurious treat is desired.

Notes

• Use good quality white chocolate for the best flavor and smooth melting.
• If you don’t have pistachio butter, you can blend shelled pistachios into a smooth paste, but adding powdered sugar to taste is recommended.
• The coconut oil helps keep the chocolate mixture pliable; ensure it is cold pressed for a neutral flavor.
• Freezing time can be extended for a firmer texture if preferred.
• This dessert is best consumed within 3-4 days refrigerated once thawed.
• To enhance the presentation, use a sushi mat to create an even salami shape.
• Pistachio coating adds crunch and visual appeal but can be substituted with cocoa powder or powdered sugar if desired.
