In this article we will talk about a dessert that is famous all over the world.
We will show you the preparation and how to do it better.
Chocolate salami like the dessert we saw in a previous article “the apple pancakes” is a delicious dessert that is usually prepared for Easter and Christmas in many regions of Italy, to combine with the many desserts and delicacies of this time..
Preparing this dessert is not particularly difficult, at least as far as the dough is concerned, while the shape requires a minimum of preparation, so that once it cools it does not fall apart.
How to make chocolate salami
To start preparing the chocolate salami these are the steps:
- Coarsely crumble the dry crackers.
- Melt the dark chocolate in a water bath.
- While the chocolate melts, beat the butter until creamy.
- To do this, the butter must already be soft enough to work with a silicone spatula.
- Add the sugar and then the eggs.
- Mix well until you get a smooth and homogeneous cream.
- Remove the warm melted chocolate and add it to the butter and egg mixture.
- Knead until the chocolate salami mixture becomes perfectly smooth, then add the chopped cookies and mix.
Preparation
Place the mixture on a sheet of baking paper and try to give it a cylindrical shape as regular as possible, using your hands and a spatula.
Once you’ve shaped it, roll it in parchment paper to form a large cylindrical candy.
Pinch the sides together well, then roll it up the same way in foil.
Put it to rest in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
Once hardened, we take it out of the fridge, remove the aluminum and the baking paper and coat it in icing sugar.
Conclusions
Serve the sliced chocolate salami, just like a real salami.
If you want your dessert to be even richer and more flavorful, you can add chopped hazelnuts and candied fruit, eliminating the corresponding weight of dry biscuits.
