Ingredients
450 gr. of petit beurre style cookies
1/3 cup roughly chopped walnuts
1 cup of butter
2 Tbsp. cocoa powder
1 (14oz) can of sweetened condensed milk
2 cups chopped dark chocolate (70%)
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 cup Metaxa or brandy
Directions
Snap the cookies roughly in half and place in a large bowl along with the walnuts and set aside.
Empty butter, cocoa and condensed milk into a medium pot over medium heat until it just comes to a boil.
Add the chocolate, vanilla, brandy and salt and let stand for a minute. Now mix with a whisk until thickened.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the bowl with the cookies and mix with a rubber spatula.
Let stand for 15 minutes to firm up.
Roll out a sheet of parchment paper and empty your chocolate mix on it. Shape into a 12 inch log and wrap with parchment and place in the fridge overnight.
The next day, roll in icing/powdered sugar before serving (I even tied it with butcher’s twine for a real salami look).
Slice and serve with a fortified wine, like a Santorini Vin Santo.
Notes
This treat goes well with a scoop of your favourite ice cream.
