Ingredients

INGREDIENTS
1 cup (8oz/225g) Butter
2 cups (12oz/340g) best-quality semisweet chocolate chips or grated chocolate
1/2 cups (4oz/115g) sugar
¼ cup (1oz/28g)pure cocoa powder
1 tsp Vanilla extract
3 cups (9oz/225g) biscuits, crushed (graham crackers,digestive, gluten-free OK)
½ cup (21/2oz/71g) toasted hazelnuts, coarsely chopped
½ cup (21/2oz/71g) toasted pistachios, coarsely chopped
½ cup (21/2oz/71g) cranberries (or raisin/ sultanas/cherries)
1 tblps grated orange zest (optional)
2 tablespoons dark rum , bourbon, orange liquoir (optional)

Instructions

Melt the chocolate and butter in a large bowl, in the microwave or over a Bain-Marie on a very low flame, stirring until melted.
To you chocolate mix add in your sugar, cocoa powder and vanilla extract.
Add the crushed biscuits, toasted nuts, fruit and citrus zest. When crushing the biscuits leave some bits bigger and some bits crushed fine. It gives your salami good texture.
Mix all of these ingredients together.
Lay cling wrap on your surface. Take some of your mix and shape into a log and wrap tightly in plastic, securing the ends with twisters. You will get 3-4 logs. Refrigerate the for 3 hours or until firm.
To decorate like a salami toss it in icing sugar and wrap in twine like in the video. You can leave this step out of you want. It is just an added touch.
To serve, unwrap and slice as thick as you want with a serrated knife. The salami slices better when left out of the fridge for a while.
YOU CAN MAKE THIS 2 WEEKS IN ADVANCE.
KEEP IT REFRIGERATED AND WELL WRAPPED.

Hi Gemma,
I want to try your chocolate salami recipe but can I replace the butter with another non fat ingredient?
Thanks,
Honey

Hi Gemma,
Should I add the rest of the ingredients when the melted chocolate is hot or should I wait until it cools down. Also I’m thinking of adding walnuts, almonds and raisins. Will that work well? Should I soak raisins also like how you have soaked cranberries?

Hi Gemma! Do you have a recipe for chocolate wafer rolls? My kids love those but I’d rather give them a natural version.

Hey! I am concerned about the quantity of butter used in this recipe. Isn’t it a bit more butter? I mean I checked out other recipes and the amount of butter is half as compared to the amount used in this recipe. And in the instructions you’ve missed out the step of adding cocoa powder, sugar and vanilla. If you have mistakenly wrote the wrong quantity of butter, I request you to edit it and write the correct amount 🙂
