This is a typical sweet from Portugal too and I wanted to make it for some time, and this was triggered by chance via this video. And then I checked this one for getting an idea about the quantities
Ingredients
- 250g maria biscuits (dont try to hard biscuits…)
- 150g dark chocolate chopped
- 50g cacao powder
- 50g pistachio chopped
- 70g butter
Process
- Smash the biscuits, but dont make it powder!
- Add the pistachios
- Melt the chocolate and butter
- Add to the biscuits
- Mix well, like a dough
- Pour the mix over clean film, try to roll like a chorizo
- Let it cool down in the fridge.
Then you can decorate it like a salami if you wish
Obviously, it doesn’t look like in the videos (although it was tasty). My main mistake was using oat biscuits that are quite hard.
2nd Attempt. A bit better but still not as I would like it:
