You will LOVE this chocolate salami recipe. I promise. It’s one of the easiest Italian desserts I will ever share with you. A gorgeous rich chocolate ‘salami, flavoured with amaretto and sultanas, textured with amaretti crumb and roasted hazelnuts. I also want to add that there is no meat involved in the making of this dessert, contrary to it’s name, LOL.
Here for you is a very straightforward, super quick, step by step video. If you have time you can even make this in advance, up to a week if you need to. Serve the chocolate salami, beautifully sliced. [ingredients title=”Ingredients”]
Melt the chocolate and butter in a heat resistant bowl, sitting on top of a pan with simmering water. (Please make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water).
In the meantime, beat the sugar and the eggs together.
Fold in the egg mixture into the melted chocolate. Cook for another 4/5 minutes on top of the simmering water
In the meantime, put the amaretti biscuits into a sandwich bag. With a rolling pin, create a large crumb.
Remove the chocolate mix from the heat. Fold in the sultanas, nuts, amaretti crumb and 1 tbsp of amaretti. Make sure everything is well coated in the chocolate.
Set the mixture aside until it has cooled down.
Next, cut two sheets of greaseproof paper. Divide the mixture and place on top. Mould the mixture into a ‘salami’ shape. Tightly wrap the paper around it and refrigerate for 6 hours.
Unwrap the chocolate salami and dust with icing sugar. Slice
