The words salami and kormos refer to the shape of the dessert before it’s sliced since it is shaped like a long roll that could remind some of the same of salami, i.e. a thick cured sausage or an actual tree log. At the same time, Greek often refer to this dessert as mosaiko because, when sliced, it looks like a mosaic marble floor.

Ingredients

• 250g butter, melted
• 200 g icing sugar
• 50 g cocoa powder
• Orange zest from 1 orange
• 250 g tea biscuits; you can mix these with walnuts or other nuts

*You can also experiment with adding a shot of cognac or a single espresso shot to the mix if you fancy – this is optional!

Method

1. Break the biscuits using your hands. If you are using nuts as well, you can pulse them very briefly in a food processor/blender or chop them. It’s important that they don’t break into very small bits or turn into powder!
2. In a bowl whisk together the butter, the icing sugar, and the cocoa powder until they form a smooth mixture.
3. Add the biscuits to the bowl with the cocoa blend and mix well.
4. Spread the mixture on a sheet of baking paper and wrap into a roll. Then wrap it once more with plastic wrap or tin foil and twist the ends like it’s a piece of candy.
5. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours, then dust it with some extra icing sugar if you want and slice to serve. Usually it helps with cutting the dessert if you wait 5-10 min after taking it out of the fridge so it’s a bit softer.
