When I lived in Portugal

Directions:

Make cookie crumbs by crushing Maria’s cookies finely either with a food processor or by putting them in a plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.

Toast the chopped walnuts in a pan without oil until they smell good, for about 3-5 minutes. Stir often to avoid burning.

To melt chocolate, put chocolate chips, heavy cream, and pieces of butter in a saucepan on low heat. Keep stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

Mix the ingredients: Take the chocolate mixture off the heat and mix in crushed cookies and toasted walnuts until they are well combined.

Make a salami shape: Put a big piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface and move the chocolate mixture onto it. Form the mixture into a long or sausage shape, using the plastic wrap to assist in rolling it tightly. Twist the edges of the plastic wrap to close the log tightly.

Cool and let it sit: Put the chocolate salami in the fridge for 2-3 hours or until it becomes firm.

Finish preparing the chocolate salami by rolling it in powdered sugar until it is evenly coated. Serve it once ready. Cut the salami into slices and serve.

ENJOY!!
