Chestnut biscuit salami

by | Dec 17, 2021 | Desserts

Chestnut biscuit salami is a no-bake dessert, it’s ideal for those who would like to keep Christmas simple. It may have been inspired by the Italian chocolate salami; its creator probably felt the urge to rethink the original recipe by using an ingredient, which is loved by many Hungarians.

Chestnut puree often appear in Hungarian cakes and pastries, it’s also a popular filling of beigli baked for Christmas. In Hungary it can be obtained in 250 gram frozen blocks. In this recipe (source: Andi konyhája) chestnut puree is combined with biscuit crumbs, chocolate, butter and cocoa. You can use store-bought biscuit crumbs, or you can make your own by crushing the biscuits with a rolling pin or in a blender.

Hungarian cottage cheese

This is what Hungarian túró looks like

You often ask me what kind of cottage cheese (or curd cheese or farmer's cheese - call it what you want) I use in the recipes. In Hungary the store-bought cottage cheese is dry and crumbly as you can see in the picture. So if a recipe calls for túró, I mean this type. If you can't obtain túró, you can try to make your own from whole milk. Click on the link below.

Metric system vs cup

In Hungary metric units are in use, all the recipes on this website are based on this system, so a kitchen scale is necessary. Since I’m not familiar with cup as a measurement unit, I convert grams to cups by using an online converter. The values in brackets, therefore, are only approximate volumes, so, please, double-check them before you start cooking.
