| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| 1. | Melt Chocolate: Cut the chocolate into small pieces and melt them in a pan over very low heat with the cream and unsalted butter, stirring until smooth and well combined. |
| 2. | Prepare Almonds and Cookies: While the chocolate is melting, place the almonds and cookies in a ziplock bag and crush them using a rolling pin or an empty wine bottle until they are finely crumbled. |
| 3. | Combine Ingredients: Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the crumbled almonds, crushed cookies, and orange zest until evenly distributed, creating a thick and luscious chocolate mixture. |
| 4. | Chill the Mixture: Allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly, then transfer it to the fridge to chill for approximately 30 minutes, or until it’s firm enough to handle. |
| 5. | Shape the Salami: Spoon the chilled chocolate mixture onto a large piece of clingfilm or wax paper, then shape it into a sausage-like form, ensuring it’s compact and evenly shaped. |
| 6. | Chill Again: Place the chocolate sausage in the fridge and let it chill for at least four hours, or until it’s firm and holds its shape well. |
| 7. | Dust with Icing Sugar: Just before serving, remove the chocolate salami from the fridge and dust it generously with icing sugar, creating a “skin” effect that adds to its visual appeal. |
| 8. | Serve and Enjoy: Slice the chocolate salami as needed, storing any leftovers in the fridge for up to a few days. Enjoy the delightful combination of chocolate, almonds, and orange zest in each slice. |
