Instructions
Step 1
Start by breaking the *Jubilee cookies* into small pieces. This can be done easily by placing the cookies in a ziplock bag and gently crushing them with a rolling pin. Aim for a mixture of crumbs and larger chunks for texture.
Then, take your choice of *nuts* and chop them into small bits. Any variety will work, but walnuts or almonds add a nice flavor that pairs well with chocolate.
Step 2
Next, melt the *butter* in a medium saucepan over low heat. As it melts, prepare to add the *condensed milk*, *cocoa*, and *salt*.
Once the butter is fully melted, remove the pan from heat and add the condensed milk, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. *Stir* the mixture until it's smooth and evenly combined, ensuring the cocoa is fully dissolved.
Step 3
Now, add the broken cookies and chopped nuts to the chocolate mixture. *Stir* everything together until the cookies are fully coated in the chocolate mixture.
Make sure the ingredients are well combined so that every bite has that delicious chocolate flavor.
Step 4
Using parchment paper or plastic wrap, carefully pour the mixture onto the paper. Roll it into a tight *log shape*, ensuring the diameter is about 5 centimeters (2 inches).
Wrap the log tightly in the parchment or plastic wrap and make sure it’s secure. This will help maintain the shape while it sets.
Step 5
Finally, place the wrapped log in the refrigerator and let it chill overnight. If you can, leave it for at least 12 hours for the best results.
This resting period allows the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up, making it easier to slice later on.
Servings
Picture this: a sunny afternoon picnic with friends, and you surprise everyone with slices of your homemade Chocolate Sausage. Serve it chilled for the best texture, preferably on a decorative platter, for that touch of elegance! Don’t forget a drizzle of melted chocolate on top for an extra treat.
Or perhaps you're hosting a movie night? Pair your Chocolate Sausage with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The warm, gooey ice cream mingling with the cool, chocolatey goodness creates a dessert duo that’s sure to wow your guests! 💖
For that cozy vibe at home, cut thick slices and serve them alongside steaming cups of coffee or hot cocoa. It’s the perfect balance of rich and sweet that will make your chilly evenings feel warm and inviting! ☕
Why not garnish the plate with fresh berries or a sprinkle of powdered sugar? It turns your simple dessert into a stunning masterpiece that looks as good as it tastes!
Equipment
A large mixing bowl is essential for combining ingredients. Make sure it's big enough to comfortably hold all the cookie and filling mixture!

You'll need a knife to cut your chocolate sausage into nice, even slices before serving. A sharp knife will ensure clean cuts.
Variations
If you're looking to enjoy this treat gluten-free, simply swap out the Jubilee cookies for a gluten-free variety or try your hand at making your own with gluten-free flour!
Going vegan? No worries! Substitute the butter with a vegan butter alternative, and use coconut condensed milk in place of regular condensed milk. You still get that creamy texture without any animal products, and trust me, it tastes just as good! 🌟
Faq
- How do I ensure my chocolate sausage holds its shape?
Make sure to roll it tightly in parchment paper, and refrigerate it overnight. Freezing it for a few hours can also help if you're in a hurry!
- Can I use different types of nuts?
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with any nuts you love, such as almonds, walnuts, or hazelnuts!
- What if my mixture is too crumbly?
If it feels dry, add a bit more condensed milk to the mixture. It should be moist enough to hold together well when rolled.
- Can I add additional flavors or ingredients?
Yes! You can mix in dried fruit, shredded coconut, or even espresso powder for an exciting twist!
- How thick should I cut the slices?
Cutting them about half an inch thick is usually ideal for serving, as this lets you enjoy the rich flavors without overwhelming sweetness.
- What's the best way to store leftovers?
Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil and keep them in the fridge. They should stay fresh for up to a week!
