No-Bake Christmas Chocolate Salami
Ingredients
- 100g (3½ oz) dark chocolate
- 100g (3½ oz) milk chocolate
- 50g (¼ cup) butter
- 1 egg (medium)
- 50g (¼ cup) white sugar
- 20g (1 tbsp + 2 tsp) brown sugar
- 2 tbs brewed coffee (omit if you don't like coffee)
Salami contents (see notes):
- 165g (6 oz) M&Ms
- 20g (¾ oz) pepparkakor
- 20g (¾ oz) honeycomb
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate along with the butter in a Bain Marie / double boiler.
- Combine the egg, sugar and coffee and add to the melted chocolate mixture.
- Stir regularly, and cook for around five minutes (just until the sugar melts).
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a while.
- Prepare the contents of your salami (see notes) and add to a bowl.
- Pour over the chocolate mixture and stir carefully, just until everything is combined.
- Place the bowl in the fridge for around an hour to set a little.
- Pour your mixture out onto a long piece of cling-film and gently shaped it so you have a long, rough "sausage".
- Roll up the cling-film and gently squeeze, roll and push until your "salami" is smooth and round.
- Twist the ends of the cling-film tightly, and place in the fridge for another hour.
- Remove the salami and roll again to get it as round and smooth as possible.
- Place back in the fridge and leave overnight.
- When ready to serve, sprinkle icing sugar over a piece of baking paper.
- Remove the clingfilm, and roll the salami in it, brushing off any excess. Cut into thick slices.
- Keep at room temperature (popping it back in the fridge if you don't eat it all in one go). Enjoy!
Notes
I have converted grams to cups/ounces/tablespoons using online converters. Although I have no reason to believe they are inaccurate, please be aware that I have not made this recipe with imperial measurements.
You can use anything for your chocolate salami. This could be candy, dried fruit, nuts, or anything else you fancy.
