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 (5.3 oz)
75 g finely chopped pistachios for coating (2.6 oz)

Instructions

Step 1: Break the cookies into small pieces and roughly chop some shelled, unsalted pistachios. Mix them together in a bowl and set aside.
Step 2: Finely chop the white chocolate and melt it in a double boiler along with the coconut oil. Once it begins to melt, remove from heat to avoid burning.
Step 3: If using unsweetened pistachio butter, add the powdered sugar to the melted chocolate mixture. Stir in the pistachio butter until smooth and fully combined.
Step 4: Pour the melted chocolate and pistachio mixture over the cookies and pistachios in the bowl. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
Step 5: Lay two pieces of plastic wrap on top of each other. Pour the mixture onto the wrap and shape it into a log form.
Step 6: For a neater shape, roll the log inside a sushi mat. Secure with a rubber band and then wrap it again tightly in plastic wrap.
Step 7: Place the wrapped log in the freezer for at least 2 hours until it is firm and set.
Step 8: While the salami is freezing, finely chop additional pistachios. Once set, carefully unwrap the salami and roll it in the chopped pistachios until fully coated.
Step 9: Let the salami thaw for about 15 minutes before slicing to make cutting easier and to maintain its texture.
Step 10: Slice and enjoy this rich, nutty dessert that’s simple to make but sure to impress!

FAQs

Can I use roasted pistachios instead of raw?

Yes, roasted pistachios add a deeper flavor and crunch, but avoid salted ones to keep the balance of sweetness.

Is it necessary to use a double boiler to melt the chocolate?

While a double boiler is the safest method to gently melt chocolate and prevent burning, you can also melt it slowly in the microwave in short intervals, stirring frequently.

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 roughly chop some shelled, unsalted pistachios. Mix them together in a bowl and set aside.
Melt Chocolate: Finely chop the white chocolate and melt it gently in a double boiler along with the coconut oil. Once it starts to melt, remove from heat to avoid burning. If your pistachio butter is unsweetened, stir in the powdered sugar now, then gradually incorporate the pistachio butter until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Combine Mixture: Pour the melted white chocolate and pistachio butter mixture over the cookie and chopped pistachio pieces. Mix thoroughly to coat all the pieces evenly.
Shape the Salami: Lay two pieces of plastic wrap on a flat surface. Transfer the mixture onto the wrap and shape it into a log. For a neater cylinder, roll the log inside a sushi mat, secure with a rubber band, and then wrap again tightly in plastic wrap.
Freeze: Place the wrapped salami in the freezer and allow it to set for at least 2 hours, solidifying the shape and texture.
Coat with Pistachios: While the salami cools, finely chop additional pistachios. Once the log is firm, unwrap it carefully and roll it in the chopped pistachios until fully coated.
Serve: Let the salami thaw at room temperature for about 15 minutes to soften slightly before slicing. This step makes cutting easier and helps maintain its texture.
Enjoy: Slice the salami into rounds and enjoy this luxurious, nutty dessert that combines creamy white chocolate and crunchy pistachios with a cookie crunch.

Notes

This recipe requires no baking and relies on freezing to set the salami.
Using pistachio butter ensures a smooth, rich flavor. If unavailable, finely ground pistachios mixed with a bit of oil may be substituted.
Be careful not to overheat the white chocolate to avoid graininess or burning.
Allowing the log to thaw slightly before slicing will preserve the creamy texture and prevent cracks.
Store leftovers wrapped tightly in the refrigerator or freezer.
