Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Cookie Base

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

Create the Chocolate Binding

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

Combine Ingredients

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

Shape the Sausage

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

Chill Overnight

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.

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.

  • 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.
