Servings 24
Ingredients
- 7 ounces Dark chocolate
- 3 ounces Unsalted butter room temperature
- 1/3 cup Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 7 ounces Maria biscuits broken up
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar for coating
Instructions
- Fill a small saucepan with water and place a medium size glass bowl on top of it. The bowl’s bottom should not touch the water in the pan. Over medium low heat bring water to a simmer.
- Add chocolate and butter to the bowl and stir until it melts.
- In another bowl mix together the sugar, eggs and vanilla extract.
- Slowly add the egg mixture to the melted chocolate, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved.
- Continue to stir until the chocolate mixture is completely smooth then remove it from the heat and fold in the broken Maria cookie pieces.
- Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes so it can cool enough that it can be formed into a shape.
- Cut two large pieces of parchment paper, or wax paper, and divide the mixture between the two pieces. Tightly roll the chocolate mixture into a tube (diameter should be about 2.5 inches). Twist the ends of the paper and tie each end with a string. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- When you are ready to serve it unwrap the Chocolate Salami, sprinkle a little powdered sugar on the counter, and roll it in the powdered sugar, lightly dusting the outside. Slice and serve.
