INGREDIENTS

300g of dry biscuits (petit type)
300g (1 1/4 cups) of soft butter
200g (1 3/4 cups) of powdered sugar
80g (3/4 cup) of cocoa powder
50ml (1/4 cup) of milk
A pinch of salt
Chopped hazelnuts

For the covering:
300g (1 1/4 cups) of mascarpone
200g (2/3 cup) of hazelnut cream
100g of whipped cream

METHOD

By hand, break the petit biscuits until you get small crumbs but be careful not to reduce them to powder.
In a bowl add the soft butter, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt. Whip until the mixture is soft and creamy. Add the sifted cocoa, milk and continue to mix until all is well combined.
3. Pour the broken biscuits into the bowl and mix with a spatula. Add the chopped hazelnuts and mix them all well together.
Spread a double layer of film on the work surface, pour over 3/4 of the mixture, and pour the remaining one onto another double layer of film. Shape the dough with your hands to create two rolls, one larger and one smaller, from which the center and branches of the log will be obtained. Refrigerate to rest for at least 2-3 hours.
In a bowl mix mascarpone, cocoa and hazelnut cream until everything is homogeneous. Add the whipped cream to the mascarpone and hazelnut cream and mix with a spatula from top to bottom.
After resting in the refrigerator, place the larger chocolate salami on the center of a plate and the smaller one, cut it into two pieces and make them stick.
Pour the cream into the pastry bag and cover the whole trunk creating strips, which will give a bark effect.
