Can I make chocolate salami ahead of time?
Yes, wrap the cooled log tightly and refrigerate for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 weeks. Slice while still cold for clean edges.
What can I use instead of tea biscuits?
Digestive biscuits, vanilla wafers, or graham crackers work well. Avoid soft cookies as they won't provide enough structure.
Why is my chocolate salami too soft to slice?
The mixture likely needs more chilling time. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or freeze for 1-2 hours before slicing. Ensure your kitchen isn't too warm.
Can I substitute the walnuts?
Yes, use almonds, hazelnuts, or pistachios in equal amounts. Avoid nuts that are too oily or soft, as they affect texture.
Is this recipe gluten-free?
Only if you use gluten-free biscuits. All other ingredients are naturally gluten-free, but verify biscuit labels.
