How Do You Make Chocolate Salami At Home?
This sweet dessert roll has taken inspiration from Italian and Portuguese cuisines. It is pretty easy to imagine what a salami roll would look like. You also might think it can’t be as easy to make as we’re claiming it to be. But trust us when we say that once you attempt to make this, you won’t be able to stop. This salami is so much better than all the other salamis because instead of any meat, it has chocolate as its base and is a delicious addition to hot beverages. It also works well as a topping for an ice cream sundae and is a complete dessert in itself.
The majority of the ingredients for this dessert are simple, pantry staples. Its outward appearance is where the word “salami” originates. It is thinly sliced and then served as tiny discs after being rolled up tightly, just like meat salami. The colour of the chocolate log is a deep chocolatey brown, and it has biscuits or nut specks that resemble the white specks found in regular salami.
