Chocolate Salami with Nougat (Salame di Cioccolato e Torrone)

Category: Desserts
Servings: 6

Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Digestive biscuits (or similar) 250g
Butter (softened) 150g
Granulated sugar 120g
White nougat (chopped) 60g
Unsweetened cocoa powder 30g
Eggs 120g
Powdered sugar (for dusting) to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Nougat and Biscuits: Begin by placing the white nougat into a food processor and pulse it until finely chopped. Next, take the digestive biscuits and break them into large chunks using your hands or a rolling pin—this will add texture to the chocolate salami.

  2. Mix the Base: In a large bowl, combine the softened butter with the granulated sugar and whisk them together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the chopped biscuits and nougat into the bowl.

  3. Add Cocoa and Eggs: Sift the cocoa powder into the bowl and stir it in along with the beaten eggs. Continue mixing until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture becomes a thick, cohesive dough.

  4. Shape the Salami: Lay a piece of parchment paper on a flat surface and pour the mixture onto it. Using your hands, shape the dough into a log, carefully rolling it up in the paper to form the classic “salami” shape. Once rolled, twist the ends of the paper tightly to secure the shape.

  5. Chill the Salami: Place the wrapped chocolate salami in the refrigerator to chill for at least 6 hours. For best results, leave it overnight to firm up. Alternatively, you can freeze it for 2-3 hours for quicker setting.

  6. Finish and Serve: After chilling, unwrap the parchment paper and dust the chocolate salami with powdered sugar to mimic the appearance of a traditional salami’s outer crust. Slice it into rounds and serve.

This Chocolate Salami with Nougat is an indulgent, no-bake treat that combines the rich flavors of chocolate, buttery biscuits, and sweet nougat, offering a fun and delicious twist on classic Italian desserts. Ideal for any occasion or as a sweet gift for a loved one!

Enjoy your homemade Salame di Cioccolato e Torrone and share the joy of this delightful treat!
