Melt the butter in a small saucepan, being careful not to let it boil, and let it cool.
Fill the plastic bag with dry cookies and, using a weight (a bottle of water, a rolling pin, your boyfriend’s head…), crush them well until you have a looooot of crumbs. Don’t make them too small, though!
In a bowl, combine the cookies, melted butter, rum, coffee, cocoa, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt.
Knead with your hands until the mixture is smooth.
Prepare a strip of aluminum foil on which we’ll spread the mixture in the shape of a salami.
Once you’ve achieved the desired shape, roll up the aluminum foil, seal the sides, and put it in the freezer!
It needs to sit for at least 4 hours: I left it overnight!
Before serving, let it warm to room temperature for about half an hour, then serve it sliced!
Here’s another recipe—for chocolate salami—that’s very simple, fun, and super quick to make; in fact, it’ll only take us 30 minutes!
Plus, you don’t need any tools—it’s all done by hand!

Remember that it’s much easier to cut when it’s frozen! :)
Enjoy your meal!
