What is a Chocolate Salami?
This no-bake candy dessert has origins in Italy and Portugal, and it’s a common holiday treat. It generally consists of chocolate blended with cream and butter to create a smooth ganache, with bits of cookies, sometimes nuts, and other things stirred in. The mixture is formed into a log, similar to a sausage or a salami. When sliced, the pieces look like salami too!

Key Ingredients In White Chocolate Salami
Here’s what you need to make this tasty Biscoff chocolate salami: Complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
Biscoff Cookies: Lotus Biscoff cookies (or biscuits, depending on where you live) are the main texture ingredient in this recipe. Break them into pieces of various sizes, some small, some large. Cookie Butter: A spread made by crushing up Biscoff cookies is added to the chocolate salami too! Look for the creamy version of Biscoff rather than the crunchy one. White Chocolate Chips: I find that chips melt down perfectly for this recipe. You can also use pieces of white chocolate bar if you have them, but don’t make chocolate salami with candy melts or almond bark. Butter: Butter is stirred in to make the ganache extra rich. Cinnamon, Salt, Sugar, and Rum: These are the flavorings for Biscoff white chocolate salami. Rum is optional, but I highly recommend it. Heavy Cream: What we’re creating is basically a thick ganache. cream mixed with melted chocolate is the way to do that! Powdered Sugar: This is dusted over the salami before slicing. It kind of looks like the white layer on a traditional salami.
How To Make Biscoff White Chocolate Salami
Recipe Tips
Trust the process. It may seem like the butter will never incorporate into the mixture, but keep whisking, and it will! You may find it easier to remove the bowl from the double boiler to mix it on the counter. If your arm gets tired, feel free to switch to an electric mixer, on low speed. If you don’t have a double boiler, use a heat-safe boil placed over a saucepot filled with water. Be sure that the bottom of the bowl isn’t touching the water. Heavy duty plastic wrap works best in this recipe. The thinner stuff will break and tear more easily, making rolling up the log difficult. It’s ok if your cookie butter doesn’t stay in the center of the log. You can see it the photos that some of mine moved toward one edge after I rolled it up. To harden the log more quickly, place it in the freezer for about an hour. It’s best to add powdered sugar just before serving. If you do it ahead of time, it will melt into the chocolate and you won’t see it.
Storing Tips
Keep chocolate salami in the fridge. Stored in an airtight container, it can be kept for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, wrap first with plastic wrap, then with foil and store in the freezer for up to 1 month. White Chocolate Salami with Biscoff is delicious eaten cold!
