Chocolate Salami
Chocolate salami is a delicious, easy and fun dessert that's perfect with a cup of coffee or on a holiday dessert plate.This recipe can be made gluten free by using gluten free biscuit cookies.
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain cookies, (tea biscuit type cookies, Arrowroot, Maria biscuits etc.)
- 1/2 cup pistachios, or walnuts, chopped finely
- 1 cup milk, (or just under)
- 1 1/4 cups butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar, approximately, to roll the salami in
Instructions
- The first thing to do is get your butter out so it is at room temperature when you use it.
- When the butter is at room temperature, cream it together with the sugar until it is light and fluffy. I do this with an electric mixer, but you can do it by hand too.
- Mix in the cocoa powder. Then, add in the milk and stir to incorporate.
- Mix together the biscuits, nuts and raisins. Add this mixture to the milk and egg mixture. Stir to combine everything well.
- Roll the dough into a log shape and roll the log into powdered sugar.
- Wrap the log well with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours before serving.
- Makes 1 large log or 2 smaller ones. The large log gives you about 24 slices, depending on how thick you slice it.
