Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 cup Unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa powder sifted
  • 1 1/2 cups Powdered sugar sifted
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 3 cups Graham Crackers
  • 2 tbsp Cognac
  • 2 cups Walnuts chopped

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl mix together the melted butter, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, powdered sugar and salt until combined.
  • In a different bowl roughly break the crackers with your hands.
  • Pour the cognac, making sure all crackers are covered evenly.
  • Fold in the crackers into the chocolate mixture.
  • Add the walnuts in the mixture and stir until incorporated.
  • Spread the mixture on a piece of parchment paper and shape into a log. Twist the edges to secure the filling.
  • Wrap the log tightly with plastic wrap to ensure it has a uniform, cylindrical shape.
  • Freeze for 3 hours.
  • Cut into slices and serve.

Notes

  • Sift both cocoa powder and powdered sugar as they tend to be lumpy. This will ensure an even batter.
  • Instead of parchment paper and plastic wrap you can also use aluminum foil to wrap the chocolate salami. It works just fine but you will not get a cylindrical shape as even.
  • You can either freeze or refrigerate chocolate salami.
  • Chocolate salami can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months. When ready to serve, remove chocolate salami from freezer and let it sit for 20 minutes before cutting into slices.
  • If you plan to serve chocolate salami to children, omit the cognac.
  • You can top chocolate salami with dusted cocoa powder or powdered sugar.
