chocolate salami recipe

This chocolate salami recipe is one of those recipes that makes me very excited. I just can’t have enough of these. It is a Portuguese dessert that is very famous in the Portugal.

I make these before the festive season like Christmas or eid for guests and they stay well in the fridge for many days. I often make these and a few more goodies to welcome guests during the festive season like Oreo balls ,Coconut balls, Brigadeiro and Date Balls.

Taste

This is my type of dessert, slightly bitter, less sweet, intense in taste with nuts and dry fruit for a burst of flavor. Although these cocoa chocolate salami looks very similar to cold cake in look yet there is no comparison.

The intense cocoa taste is a true delight if you love dark chocolate flavor. And because it has this bittersweet combo, you enjoy just one biscuit at a time and enjoy the after-taste for a few moments. Then go for another one after a while. YUM!

This chocolate salami is just delicious, next-level treat. You can find more about the origin of chocolate salami on Wikipedia.

Ingredients

What makes them pantry favorite and great for unforeseen cravings is that you can make it with cocoa powder, condensed milk, biscuits, butter and nuts, and dry fruit.

No baking or cooking and no eggs are required for this chocolate salami recipe.

How to make it?

What makes this recipe super easy is that it is no-cooking and no-baking. Even kids can make it.

The first step is to soak raisins in 2 tablespoons of water for 10 minutes. We want raisins to be juicy. Do not oversoak. You can use other dried berries instead of raisins.

Takle biscuit almonds and cocoa powder in a bowl.

Break biscuit into large bits with hand or with a rolling pin. Then take biscuits, cocoa powder, chopped, and roasted nuts in a bowl. Mix all together.

I used almonds, but you substitute with whatever you have in hand like hazelnuts, cashew, pecan, peanuts, pistachios or walnuts.

Add dry fruits and condensed milk.

Now, add soaked raisins, unsalted butter, and condensed milk to the biscuit mixture and fold together until combined.

Mix all ingredients of chocolate salami in a bowl.

The chocolate mixture is thick and gooey. Pro tip: Do a taste test and adjust sweetness by adding powdered sugar if necessary. I didn't.

To roll chocolate salami, use two plastic sheets. I simply cut a large piece of plastic wrap into two rectangle sheets of about 10 inches. You can use baking paper too for this but plastic sheet works best.

Roll chocolate salami mixture into platic sheets and roll into two logs.

Divide the mixture into two portions and place each portion in the center of the plastic wrap. Then roll it into a log. Press it very tightly to remove any air and roll it on a plane surface to form a round-shaped log.

Twist the ends like candy. Repeat the process to make another log. Store in the fridge for 12-24 hours.

To dust, mix powdered biscuits and cocoa powder in a bowl. Remove the plastic wrap from the log and roll it in the cocoa-biscuit mixture. This will absorb the moisture from the outer layer making the slicing mess-free.

Store the log in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Then slice as needed and serve. Find more tips on storage check the notes section in the recipe card.

How to store it?

These chocolate salami are best after a couple of days as the moisture gets absorbed in the biscuits. The texture and flavors get homogenized.

You can store these in the fridge for up to 10 days or more. Store the chocolate salami logs in the freezer bag. They stay good in the freezer for upto 3 months. They stay good at room temperature for 2 days. 

But if you want to enjoy it immediately, freeze the salami roll for two hours and then remove the plastic wrap. Just roll in crushed biscuit and cocoa mixture. Then slice it with a sharp knife. The slices will be soft but still yummy.

Notes

1. Weighing biscuits or checking the weight mentioned on the pack and adjusting is the best way to be sure. I assume you’ll need 14 digestives biscuit or graham cracker. (I used 20 Wheatables biscuits (local biscuits).
2. Toasted and sliced silver almonds are best. I used raw almonds, toasted it, and then chopped it with a sharp knife. You may use any nuts of your choice. You may use other nuts of your choice.
3.Storage: These chocolate salami are best after a couple of days. Store in the fridge for up to 10 days or more and in the freezer for 3 months or more. They stay good at room temperature after 2 days. (But if you are in hurry, freeze roll for two hours and then remove the till from plastic and roll in crushed biscuit and cocoa mixture. Then slice it with a sharp knife. The slices with be soft but still yummy.)
