directions

  • Cut the plain cookies with a knife or a rolling pin. Set aside in a large bowl.
  • Place the sugar, honey and unsalted butter in a large pot; stir over low heat until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved (take out a teaspoon and rub two fingertips on the mixture to make sure it is not grainy). Add the cocoa powder and mix well to blend thoroughly.
  • Cool the mixture a bit and when it is lukewarm, start introducing the eggs, one at a time as well as the liqueur, stirring constantly; when the mixture starts steaming, add the cornstarch mixture and stir for a minute till thick; if you notice that it curdles, no need to panic, drop the whole mixture in a blender and process until smooth, a couple of minutes. Done.
  • Transfer the chocolate mixture into the bowl with the broken cookies and nuts (if using).
  • When the mixture had cooled a bit, spread a large sheet of aluminum foil or plastic wrap on a work surface and spread the mixture on it, shaping it like a fat sausage. Enclose it tightly and place in the freezer for at least 6 hours.
  • To serve, cover the entire salami with powdered sugar; tie up with kitchen twine; slice and serve. Keep the remainder in the freezer.
