Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups 200g grated dark vegan chocolate
  • 1 1/2 cups 180g crushed vegan cookies
  • 1/4 cup 60ml soy milk
  • 3 tbsp 45ml vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp coffee powder
  • Pinch of salt optional

Instructions
 

  • Break up your vegan cookies/biscuits into chunks. You don’t want them to turn to powder, so it’s best to do this by hand.
  • Pop them onto a dry cloth, fold the cloth around the cookies, and and crush them by applying pressure with your hands.
  • Put the cookies aside, and move onto the chocolate mixture.
  • Melt your dark chocolate over low heat using a double boiler, so that it doesn’t burn.
  • Once the chocolate has melted, remove it from the heat and add your soy milk (or any plant-based milk you like), and the vegetable oil, coffee powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix it well to combine.
  • Then fold in the broken cookies/biscuits.
  • Before the chocolate mixture has had a chance to cool, pour it out onto a sheet of baking paper, and roll it with your hands into a log shape.
  • You can twist the paper at the ends, like a candy bar. Then let it set in the freezer for at least 3 hours.
  • Once it has hardened, take it out of the freezer, and remove the baking paper (at this point, you can roll it in icing sugar if you like).
  • Serve the chocolate salami in slices, just like a real salami.

Notes

Feel free to add in dried fruit, nuts, or even coconut to adjust to your liking.
You can also omit the coffee altogether if you're not a fan, or replace it with a little vanilla, almond, or orange essence.
