Prep Time 10 minutes
Course Dessert, Snack
Servings 12 slices

Ingredients
  

  • 200 grams dark chocolate (I use vegan) broken up
  • 200 grams milk chocolate (I use vegan) broken up
  • 150 grams butter (I use vegan)
  • 4 tbsp golden syrup
  • 1 orange zested
  • 180 grams biscuits (I use vegan) ginger nuts, digestives, rich tea biscuits all work well
  • 50 grams pistachios toasted, shelled and roughly chopped
  • 60 grams almonds toasted and roughly chopped
  • 80 grams raisins or dried cranberries
  • Icing sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Place your biscuits into a plastic bag and beat with a rolling pin so that they’re broken into small pieces.
  • Add the chocolate to a Bain Marie (a heat proof bowl placed over a pan containing simmering water) and melt until smooth.
  • Add the vegan butter and golden syrup and stir until they have melted and the mixture is smooth.
  • Add the broken biscuits, pistachios, almonds, raisins, and orange zest to a large bowl and then pour the melted chocolate mixture over - mix until everything is well combined.
  • Take a large piece of cling film onto a flat surface - add the mixture on top. Roll each side of the cling film around the mixture so it resembles a salami (or log) - you may need to play around a little here to get your desired shape but it doesn’t need to be perfect!
  • Tie each end and refrigerate for around 3 hours until completely solid.
  • Then, remove the cling film and coat in a generous amount of icing sugar so that it resembles a salami!
  • Leave at room temperature for a few minutes before serving
  • *Will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for upto 2-3 weeks.
    *Wrap in cling film and freeze for upto 1 month. Thaw by leaving in the freezer overnight, then leave at room temperature for an hour before serving.
    *Add 2-3 tsp orange extract for a festive chocolate orange flavour!
