This bicolor chocolate salami is a delicious chocolaty treat that includes nuts and both milk chocolate and white chocolate coatings. This wonderful confection has the appearance of salami but it is made of a mixture of milk, cocoa, crushed cookies, and chopped nuts. The result is a combination of crunchy and creamy textures.
To make the bicolor chocolate salami, you first heat the milk with the lemon zest, sugar, and cocoa, before allowing it to cool slightly. Then, you stir in the cookies and walnuts before shaping it into a log and refrigerating it until set. Finally, the salami gets garnished with a white chocolate peanut mixture and a milk chocolate peanut mixture before being refrigerated again.
What is Bicolor Chocolate Salami?
Chocolate salami is an Italian dessert that is inspired by traditional salami that is made with meat. However, instead of meat, it is made with a mixture of cocoa, cookies, and nuts which sets up in the fridge. It can then be sliced and served as you would with classic salami. While most chocolate salami doesn’t include a coating, this version is coated in milk chocolate and white chocolate for a striped appearance.
Pro Tips
- Sift the cocoa powder so that lumps don’t form.
- Don’t crush the cookies too finely as you want them to still be visible in the finished salame.
- Use parchment paper to roll up the chocolate mixture into a salami shape as the mixture will be too wet to work with your bare hands.
- Allow the salami to fully set in the fridge before you garnish it with the chocolate. It should set in about 1 hour.
