Hi Bold Bakers!

What is a Chocolate Salami? It’s a no-bake, Sweet Chocolate Biscuit Cake with rich chocolate, cookies, nuts & fruit, that’s made to look like a salami—no meat here, I promise. I hope you enjoy.

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

Can I possibly make this starting off with some leftover semisweet ganache? Would I just omit the butter? It’s at 1:1 ganache. Any ideas?

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.
