Chocolate Salame
A classic Italian no-bake chocolate dessert made with cocoa, butter, and pieces of crisp biscuit, shaped like a salami and chilled before slicing.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Break the tea biscuits into irregular bite-size pieces in the mixing bowl. Leave some larger pieces visible to create the salami-like pattern.
-
Step 2
In a second mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until pale, smooth, and fluffy.
-
Step 3
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the rum until evenly incorporated.
-
Step 4
Add the cocoa powder and mix until the chocolate mixture is uniform, scraping down the bowl as needed.
-
Step 5
Fold the broken biscuits into the chocolate mixture until every piece is coated.
-
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to a large sheet of parchment paper. Form it into a compact log about 6 cm thick, then roll and twist the paper ends to secure it.
-
Step 7
Refrigerate the wrapped log until completely firm.
-
Step 8
Unwrap the firm log and coat it evenly with powdered sugar. Cut it crosswise into 12 slices and serve chilled.
