Chocolate Salami Recipe

Dark chocolate lovers! Pay attention to this quick chocolate salami recipe with cocoa powder and condensed milk. No-cook and no eggs. Just mix and roll the log!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.)
