Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Chocolate Salami
  1. In a small bowl, combine the dried cranberries and Grand Marnier. Microwave for about 30 seconds until hot, then allow the mixture to sit for 15 minutes to soak.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the bittersweet chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, and heavy cream. Microwave at 50% power in 30-second intervals until just about melted, stirring between each session.
  3. Once your ganache is smooth, stir in the crushed Biscoff cookies and kosher salt, mixing until evenly incorporated. Fold in the soaked cranberries and pistachios, ensuring everything combines thoroughly.
  4. Lay a sheet of parchment paper on your working surface and divide the mixture into two portions. Roll each portion tightly into a log shape and refrigerate for at least 3 hours until firm.
  5. Once the logs are firm, unwrap them from the parchment paper. Dust generously with confectioners' sugar, slice into rounds, and serve chilled.
