Method
- 1
Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, stirring until smooth. Take off the heat and cool for 5 minutes.
5 min - 2
Beat the dairy free spread with 80 g icing sugar and the cocoa until creamy, then beat in the melted chocolate and rum.
- 3
Fold in the biscuit pieces and hazelnuts until every piece is coated. The mixture should be thick and fudgy.
- 4
Tip it onto a sheet of baking parchment, shape into a log about 25 cm long and roll up tightly in the paper, twisting the ends like a sweet wrapper.
- 5
Chill for at least 4 hours, until firm all the way through.
240 min - 6
Unwrap and roll the log in the remaining icing sugar so it looks like a dusty salami, tying with kitchen string if you want it to look the part.
- 7
Slice thinly with a sharp knife. Keeps in the fridge for a week.
