Chocolate Salami is a delightful European no-bake confection that looks like a cured meat but tastes like a decadent chocolate cake.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the raisins in a small bowl and cover with warm water to soften slightly; set aside.
  2. Finely chop the blanched almonds and set them aside in a separate bowl.
  3. Break the semi-sweet chocolate into small pieces and place them in the top of a double boiler with the butter.
  4. Heat gently over simmering water, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth.
  5. Remove the double boiler from heat and immediately stir in the sugar until fully dissolved.
  6. Drain the soaked raisins well and add them to the chocolate mixture along with the chopped almonds.
  7. Mix everything thoroughly until the nuts and raisins are evenly distributed throughout the chocolate.
  8. Allow the mixture to cool slightly until it is thick enough to handle but still pliable.
  9. Turn the mixture out onto a sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper.
  10. Using your hands or the paper, shape the mixture into a rough cylindrical log, resembling a salami.
  11. Wrap the log tightly in the plastic wrap, twisting the ends to seal.
  12. Refrigerate the wrapped log for at least 4 hours, or until firm enough to slice cleanly.
  13. Unwrap the chilled log and roll it generously in powdered sugar (if using) or simply slice thinly.
  14. Slice into rounds and serve as a sweet treat or dessert.
