Chocolate salame | Indian Style - Italian Cooking

This is supposed to be every child’s favourite desert in Italy, but I have seen many adults gobble up this amazing desert with the same gusto. And another thing –this is one kind of salami which even my vegetarian Marwari clan likes to eat!

Ingredients 

150 g Marie biscuits, 

roughly crumbed, 

or Italian amaretti 50 g 

sugar 120 g 

melted butter 

2 egg yolks 

6 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

 A splash of Amaretto or Grand Marnier (optional)

Method 

1 Melt the butter and let it cool. 

2 Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until the mixture resembles cake batter. Add the melted butter and cocoa powder to make a smooth consistency, like a rich, thick chocolate sauce. 

3 Crush the Marie biscuits in a food processor, or with a rolling pin, leaving some pieces a little larger than others so they resemble the speckles of fat in salami. 

4 Mix the crushed biscuits into the chocolate mixture. Shape the mix into a salami-like log, and roll it in aluminium foil. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes, or until firm. Unwrap and slice. Serve with soft whipped cream or ice cream, or just eat it by itself.

Sometimes I add melted dark chocolate instead of cocoa powder. It does make the salami heavier, but for people who love chocolate, it is even yummier. If you want to do that, substitute cocoa powder with 100 g of melted chocolate. You can also add chopped nuts if you want a fancier version. 

Salame.
