Italian chocolate salami is a no-bake cookie and chocolate dessert that, unlike typical versions, is made without added butter or other solid fat. It starts with egg yolks and sugar beaten until light and fluffy, then mixed with cocoa powder, chopped dark chocolate, milk, sweetened coffee, and finely chopped butter cookies. Once firm, the mixture is sliced like salami.

Ingredients

Sugar 150 g
Cocoa powder 50 g
Egg yolks 3
Dark chocolate 100 g
Milk 20 ml
Butter cookies 250 g
Coffee (sweetened) 60 ml

(For children or pregnant women, substitute Caro, a caffeine-free instant grain beverage, for the coffee.)

30 ml Marsala (or substitute sour cherry liqueur, rum, or similar)

Chopped nuts for decorating (optional)

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Finely chop the cookies and chocolate. In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the cocoa powder and mix thoroughly again.
Stir in the chopped chocolate and milk. The mixture may seem too dry, but it will soften in the next step.
Add the cookies, sweetened coffee, and Marsala, and mix until a firm dough forms and holds together.
Transfer the mixture to a 40 × 40 cm sheet of parchment paper, shape it into a log, and leave it wrapped in the paper. Refrigerate for at least 12 hours until firm. Before serving, roll the log in chopped hazelnuts, if desired.

Tip: The egg yolks are not heated during preparation, so choose eggs with the latest possible expiration date. Before chilling, roll the wrapped log back and forth on the counter several times to make it evenly round.
