Chocolate Salami
This fudgy chocolate salami is rich with bittersweet chocolate, espresso, hazelnuts, and crunchy biscotti. Weirdly convincing and very delicious!
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Cook Time: 5 minutes
- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Yield: 2 chocolate salami logs (about 24 slices)
- Category: Dessert
- Method: Refrigerator
- Cuisine: Itlian
Ingredients
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, sliced
- 12 oz bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup brewed espresso
- 1/2 cup roasted hazelnuts, skinned and roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup biscotti crumbs (roughly crushed into pea-sized pieces)
- 1/2 tsp flaky salt
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, for rolling
Instructions
- Combine butter and chocolate in a saucepan over medium- low heat. Stir until melted. Add the cocoa powder and espresso and whisk until smooth.
- Transfer to a bowl and stir in hazelnuts and biscotti until well mixed. Sprinkle in the flaky salt and fold in until just combined (over-stirring will cause the salt to dissolve and you’ll lose that delicate salty crunch).
- Cover the bowl and chill until firm but moldable, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Lay out 2 long pieces of plastic wrap and divide the chocolate mixture between each. Working one at a time, mold into a salami-shaped log using your hands, then wrap completely in plastic wrap and roll on the counter until smooth. Twist both ends of the plastic wrap to seal. Chill until firm, about 1 hour.
- Spread powdered sugar in an even layer on a large plate. Unwrap the chocolate logs and roll in powdered sugar to coat all the sides. Tap off excess sugar, transfer to serving dish, and slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Serve.
