Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Freeze: Place the wrapped salami log in the freezer for at least 2 hours to set and firm up.
- 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.
- Serve: Allow the salami to thaw at room temperature for about 15 minutes before slicing to ensure a clean cut and enjoyable texture.
- 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.
