Melt the Chocolate
Begin by melting the dark chocolate. You can do this using a double boiler (bagnomaria) or microwave it in short bursts. Stir occasionally until it’s completely melted and smooth. Add the butter to the chocolate and stir until the butter is fully incorporated and melted. -
Prepare the Dried Fruits
While the chocolate mixture cools slightly, chop up the dried mango, pineapple, and papaya into small pieces. Place them in a bowl and add the rum. Let the dried fruit soak up the rum for a few minutes.

Chop the Other Ingredients
Next, chop the candied ginger and dried coconut into small pieces. Set them aside for later. -
Crush the Biscuits
Break the digestive biscuits into small, rough pieces in a separate bowl. You can use your hands or a rolling pin to crush them into crumbly bits. -
Combine the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, add the soaked dried fruit, crushed biscuits, chopped ginger, and coconut. Mix everything together thoroughly. -
Add the Chocolate Mixture
Pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir everything together until you have a cohesive, thick mixture. Ensure that all the ingredients are well-coated in the chocolate. -
Shape the Chocolate Salami
Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a flat surface and dust it lightly with powdered sugar. Transfer the chocolate mixture onto the parchment paper. Using your hands, shape it into a log or “salami” shape. Be sure to press it firmly and evenly as you roll. -
Wrap and Chill
Once the chocolate mixture is shaped, carefully wrap it in the parchment paper like a candy, twisting the ends to secure it. Transfer the wrapped salami to a tray and refrigerate for at least one hour to firm up. -
Serve
After chilling, remove the chocolate salami from the fridge and unwrap it from the parchment paper. Slice it into rounds and serve. Enjoy your homemade exotic fruit chocolate salami!
Tips:
- For a more intense flavor, you can adjust the amount of rum or soak the dried fruits a bit longer to allow them to absorb more of the rum.
- Feel free to swap out the dried fruits for other varieties like dried figs, apricots, or raisins if you prefer.
- The powdered sugar not only helps to prevent sticking but also adds a nice finishing touch to the presentation.
