Makes 2 logs

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of ginger thins or cookie of your choice, lightly crushed
  • 9 ounces of dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon kafe hawaij, ras el hanout, or cinnamon
  • ¾ cup of heavy cream
  • 4 tablespoons butter, cut into cubes
  • ½ cup sliced roasted almonds, or nuts of your choice (optional)
  • Powdered sugar, for serving

Directions:

  1. Place crushed cookies in a large bowl and add the nuts.
  2. Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the cream, spice and the chocolate, stirring until everything is melted and smooth.
  3. Add the chocolate mixture to the cookie and nut mixture and stir until combined.
  4. Chill 30 - 60 minutes, until it's firm enough to work with.
  5. Lay out two sheets of parchment, plastic wrap or foil. Spoon half the chocolate mixture on the surface of one sheet, and gently roll into a log shape. Twist each end and then repeat for the other half of the mixture. Chill several hours.
  6. Remove from the fridge a few minutes before serving to make it easier to slice. Dust lightly with powdered sugar for the full salami effect.
