Chocolate salami
Chocolate salami or Salame al Cioccolato is a delicious no-bake Italian tradition in which chocolate mixture is rolled into a sausage , chilled, sliced and served- like Salami! My version contains crushed digestives , chopped pistachios and dried cranberries ... its simple but so yum!
Ingredients
- 112 grams or 1/2 cups unsalted butter
- 75 grams or 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 6 tbsps cocoa
- 60 ml or 1/4 cups milk
- 10 - 12 digestive biscuits
- 1/4 cup pistachios chopped
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries (I used Delmonte)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Crush your biscuits roughly into small pieces by hand or food processor.
- Add the pistachios and cranberries and mix well. Keep aside.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter .
- Add the sugar and whisk until it melts.
- Add the cocoa and heat while mixing until smooth.
- Add the milk and stir until smooth.
- Pour this chocolate mixture over the biscuits, cranberries and pistachios, and mix well.
- Divide the mixture into two halves and place each on cling wrap.
- Roll each into a log using the cling wrap. Flatten the sides (round ends)
- Refrigerate for atleast four hours and unwrap from cling wrap.
- Dust with icing sugar or cocoa , slice and serve!
Notes
Step by step Tutorial :
- These can be stored refrigerated for up to 2 weeks . Wrap in parchment or butter paper .
- I got two logs of about 3 cms diameter and 20 cms length with this recipe.
- If your sugar is thickening but not melting , just carry on with the cocoa and milk. Keep heating and stirring until it melts.
