Break the biscuits into large crumbs with your hands into a bowl. Or, set them on a dry cloth, close the cloth around them, and crush them by applying pressure with your hands. I do not recommend using a food processor or blender, as you want large crumbs, not powder.
1½ cups Cookie biscuits
Once the biscuits are prepared, set them aside. In the meantime, melt dark chocolate over low heat using a double boiler, or melt in the microwave in 30-second increments at low power, stirring each time. You can also make your own double boiler to melt the chocolate (see How to Make a Double Boiler in notes).
2 cups Dark Chocolate
When your chocolate melts completely, remove it from the heat and add soy milk, vegetable oil, coffee powder, and salt (optional). Mix until smooth.
¼ cup Soy milk, 2¾ Tablespoons vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon Coffee Powder, 1 pinch of salt
Add the crushed biscuits and mix thoroughly until combined. Once mixed, quickly pour everything onto a sheet of baking paper.
Roll the chocolate salami into a log. Twist the ends closed, then add it to the freezer. Let it set in the freezer for 3 hours.
Once the salami has hardened in the freezer, remove the baking paper. You can roll it in icing sugar if you like. Serve in slices, and enjoy!

You can make your own double boiler following these steps:
1. Fill a saucepan or pot halfway with water.
2. Bring to a low simmer.
3. Add chocolate to a heatproof glass or metal bowl.
4. Set the heatproof bowl over top the pot. The bowl should not touch the water, but should rest just above it. Because of this, you will need a larger bowl than pot.
5. The contents of the bowl should begin to melt. Make sure to stir frequently while the chocolate melts so it does not seize up. Do not leave it unattended.
If you want to make your Salame de Chocolate even richer and tastier, you can add chopped hazelnuts and candied fruit. To do this, take out ½ cup of biscuits and replace it with the nuts you like or with candied fruit of your choice.
Roll the chocolate salami in icing sugar for a gorgeous finishing touch.
Make this a vegan chocolate salami by using vegan biscuits. The other ingredients are already dairy-free and vegan.
