DO NOT PANIC. THERE IS NO MEAT IN THIS SALAMI.
{Whew. OK...I didn't want you to freak out there.}
Do you ever buy a cookbook and it's so beautiful and so full of gorgeous sounding recipes that you read it again and again, but wait a year before you make anything from it? Just me? Well, that's what happened when I received Dolci: Italy's Sweets by Francine Segan last year. I fell in love with it, but never actually tried a recipe. Until yesterday.
I mean, chopped up cookies mixed with chocolate and butter?!?!?!?
We've been waiting for this recipe our entire lives, right?
Oh! Big disclaimer here: please disregard the crunchy crostini in my picture. I thought I would be all fancy and toast up a baguette. Wrong. You want to spread this on soft bread. It can be a baguette....just don't toast it.
Chocolate Salami
{adapted from Dolci}
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
5 TBSP unsalted butter, softened
8 ounces butter cookies, chopped (I used Walker's Butter Shortbread)
4 heaping TBSP coarsely chopped pistachios (I used roasted & salted)
1 TBSP brewed espresso
Powdered sugar
In a microwave, melt the chocolate at 50% power in 30-second intervals (or in a bowl over simmering water), stirring after each, until melted. Set aside to cool.
Beat the butter until smooth and creamy.
Chocolate Salami...it's a thing, y'all.
That photo up top is so enticing...I love it! This is the best no-bake cookie! I make it with candied fruit slices. NOM! :-D
ReplyDeleteOh those scottie cookies are the cutest! :-) And what an interesting idea! Chocolate Salami! Sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness there's no salami in your salami. Cookies and nuts, I can do :)
ReplyDeleteAND I do that all the time with cookbooks.
This is definitely a reason to break the cycle!
Fun!!!
ReplyDeleteWow your salame looks delicious!!
ReplyDeleteI love it as it0s so easy to make.
Haha. Those poor doggies!
ReplyDeleteI'm always torn with chocolate salami. I think salami is just nasty, but this is not nasty. It sounds delicious. But the fat specks... I'm torn. Maybe if I rolled them into balls? :)
I love this. Those shortbreads are adorable. I can't believe you chopped them into a salami roll. ;) I love pistachios, so this needs to find a way to my mouth.

Too cute! I've seen recipes like this, tied up with string to look like the echt salami. Gorgeous, great for a gift, and essentially a log of truffle. Yes on all counts.
ReplyDeleteThis is just too clever for words. I love a no meat salami! ;)
ReplyDeleteI saw this on Instagram and was (Im)patiently waiting for it. I must make it!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm already liking this 'salami'. lol... Have a Happy New Year, Bridget!
ReplyDeletewell being Italian I have to say that recipe is just ingenious...that is a saver for sure, what a different dessert...Happy New Year Bridget to you and your family...
ReplyDeleteno matter how many times I see this is still freaks me out, but it sounds so good, I am so torn lol
ReplyDeleteExcuse me!
ReplyDeleteYou made this!
Like you rolled it in powdered sugar and everything!
I'm speechless!
We need to go to Italy!

And I want that crusty bread asap!
I heart you so much for making chocolate salami.
ReplyDeleteWOW. Just wow.
ReplyDelete....And I do the exact same thing with recipes. haha.
I love this recipe, my mum has made this for a long time but she cuts it into squares.. then she drizzles even more chocolate on top. Love it, now I'm hankering for it.
ReplyDeleteWow--it SO looks so salami! What an awesome idea. Happy new year Bridget. :)
ReplyDeleteVery creative! I would so love to try some.
ReplyDeleteOMG, my mom used to make chocolate salami when I was little. I thought only Russian people make it ;) It was my favorite treat!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable. I'll have to keep this in mind for food gifts next year!!
ReplyDeleteOmg..Can I repost this with proper credits in my blog ? I am sort of working on a post about how food gifts are more appreciated as we get older..oops...better..not older...better !
ReplyDeleteWaving from Houston.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm. Could it really get any better than chocolate salami?
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I host a Chocolate, Cheese and Wine party every year. This will be just perfect to share!
ReplyDeleteWow - how easy and fabulous. I will make this for sure !
ReplyDeleteMy husband's family is Italian. We went over to visit his brother and my sister-in-law made this for us. So rich! So chocolatey! She gave me her recipe, which had raw egg and metric units. :( But finally, A recipe for me here in the USA! Thank you, thank you!
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, this recipe reminds me of a candy bar that my father used to get me from Goa (India). It really used to taste kinda obscure and that used to get me and my sister. I don't remember the name but when I first this recipe, it took me back to those memories. And that is the same reason why I;ll be trying this tonight. Even if it reminds me of that taste, I'll be the happiest person in the world. Really! I'l let you know what I think. Thanks.
