Ingredients:
200g of digestive biscuits (or any cookies you prefer)
100g of dark chocolate (or milk chocolate, depending on your taste)
50g of butter
50g of sugar
2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
50g of chopped nuts (hazelnuts, almonds, or walnuts work great)
1/2 cup of milk
A pinch of salt
A dash of vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the Biscuits: Start by crushing the digestive biscuits into small pieces. You can do this by placing them in a resealable plastic bag and gently pounding them with a rolling pin, or by using a food processor for a finer texture. The crumbs should be uneven, with some larger pieces for added texture.
Melt the Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate, butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and milk. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or microwave it in short bursts, stirring in between, until everything is melted and smooth.
Mix the Ingredients: Add the crushed biscuits and chopped nuts to the melted chocolate mixture. Stir until everything is evenly coated. If you like, you can add a splash of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
Shape the "Sausage": Lay a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper on your countertop. Transfer the chocolate mixture onto the wrap and shape it into a log or sausage shape. Roll it up tightly, twisting the ends to seal. You can adjust the size based on your preference for thickness.
Chill the Dessert: Place the wrapped "sausage" in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you prefer it firmer.
Slice and Serve: Once chilled, unwrap the chocolate sausage and slice it into rounds. Serve as a unique dessert at your next gathering!
