Servings: chocolate salami

4 (½ cup) rich tea biscuits or crumbled digestives or vegan graham crackers
20 g (2 tbsp) nuts walnuts, pecans, pistachios, hazelnuts, almonds...
30 g (2 tbsp) dried fruit cranberries, cherries, raisins...
100 g (3.5 oz) dark chocolate use 50% or 70% cocoa content depending on desired sweetness
1 tbsp (1 tbsp) olive oil
2 tbsp (2 tbsp) plant milk
icing sugar for dusting

Crumble the biscuits up with your hands. Aim for pieces about 5 to 10 mm in size, but not so small that they've turned to dust.
Finely chop your chosen combination of dried fruit and nuts.
Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a hot water bath, or in a microwave at 30 second intervals.
Add the olive oil and plant milk to the chocolate and stir until smooth.
Add the biscuits, dried fruit and nuts to the chocolate mixture and mix until combined.
Set the mixture aside for approximately 20 minutes, until it has solidified enough to hold its shape well, but hasn't become so solid to that you can't mould it.
Cut a piece of baking paper about 20cm wide, and spoon the mixture lengthwise onto the centre and then use a spatula to form it into a rough salami shape.
Fold the bottom edge of the baking paper up and over the mixture and roll it into the paper. Gently press with your hands to get smooth surface and round salami shape. Twist the ends of the paper together at each end.
Chill the chocolate salami in the fridge for at least 1 hour or until fully set.
Unwrap and dust with icing sugar on all sides.
Slice, serve and enjoy!

Store in the fridge well wrapped, or in an airtight container. It will keep for 2-3weeks.
