Ingredients:

• 200 g dark chocolate
• 250 g plain biscuits
• 150 g butter (at room temperature)
• 2 medium-sized eggs
• 10 g cacao powder
• 70 g icing sugar
• 30 ml rum
• sprinkle of icing sugar to decorate

Instructions:

1. Cut the dark chocolate up into small pieces. Add to a bowl and melt, either in the microwave or bain-marie.
2. Leave melted chocolate to cool and in the meantime, break up the biscuits with your hands. The biscuits pieces should be between 1-2 cm, not too big and not powder, either.
3. In a separate bowl, add the room-temperate butter and mix with a spatula to soften. Add the icing sugar and mix into a smooth paste.
4. Gradually add the melted chocolate to the bowl with the butter and icing sugar. Mix well.
5. Add the eggs and give everything a good mix. Then add the rum and mix again.
6. Using a sieve, add the cacao powder to the mixture and mix until you have a smooth texture.
7. Add the biscuits, taking care to mix everything well without crushing the biscuits.
8. Add the mixture to a sheet of baking paper distributing the mixture lengthways.
9. Roll the paper with the mixture inside into a sausage shape, twisting the edges of the paper so the mixture doesn't escape.
10. Add the chocolate salami with paper to a sheet of cling film and wrap, taking care to seal the edges.
11. Put in the fridge to chill for 3 hours.
12. After 3 hours, remove the cling film and paper. Dust with icing sugar and cut into slices. Enjoy your chocolate salami!
