In our country, this unusual "sausage cake" made from cookies only became widespread in the 20th century. Today, many variations of this delicious dessert exist around the world:
- sweet sausage "Tea";
- Potato cake;
- "Kalter Hund" or "Cold Dog";
- "Rum ball" or "Rum ball";
- "Schwarzer Peter" or "Black Peter";
- "Lukullus" or "Lucullus";
- "Hedgehog slice" or "Hedgehog slice";
- "Kalte Schnauze" or "Cold Face";
- "Kalte Oma" or "Cold Grandma" and many others.
Today we'll look at a classic recipe for making sweet chocolate salami, just like childhood favorites, using crumbly shortbread cookies. You can use any brand of cookies (even the cheapest ones will do). We'll be using a mix of several types of cookies.
Making this dessert is very simple, as the chocolate-nut sausage is prepared without any baking and in just 15 minutes.

Crush half the cookies (approximately 300 g) into fine crumbs. You can do this in a blender or the old-fashioned way, with a rolling pin.
Break the other half of the cookies into pieces and mix with fine crumbs.
Add the toasted chopped nuts to the cookies and mix well to ensure even distribution throughout the cookie mixture.
There are also recipes with boiled condensed milk, but the original version, according to GOST, does not include this ingredient.
Preparing chocolate filling.
To do this, first mix the dry ingredients in a container - 50 grams of sugar (+ a packet of vanilla sugar) and 30 grams of cocoa powder.
Pour boiling milk (170 ml) over the cocoa and sugar and stir until completely dissolved and a homogeneous mass is formed.
Add 220 grams of softened butter to the cookies and mix well so that the ingredients “make friends” with the soft butter.
Add the chocolate filling to the mixture and mix again.
As a result, you should get a confectionery mass, as in the photo, from which you can form a “sausage cake” or cakes of any shape.
Our recipe calls for chocolate sausage, so the next step is to form a stick of the desired thickness on the surface of cling film.
We got three sausages from the prepared volume of mixture.
Remove the cooled sausage from the refrigerator, remove the cling film and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
If the dessert is prepared as a sweet gift, it can be beautifully packaged in craft paper, as in the photo.
We also offer a video with a detailed recipe for making chocolate salami in three different flavors (the classic version with nuts, as well as two alternatives – with prunes and marmalade):
We also offer another interesting dessert idea in the form of a sausage, which can be served alongside a classic chocolate variation. This recipe uses white chocolate, condensed milk, cranberries, and pistachios instead of cocoa:
