Chocolate salami


Even though it looks like this, who doesn't love chocolate cake? 



Preparation time: 

15 mins. + 3 hours fridge rest 

Ingredients:

200 gr. biscuits (digestive)
50 gr. hazelnuts or walnuts
50 gr. butter
2 pasteurized eggs
3 tbsp. cocoa powder
4 tbsp. sugar
1 plastic bag + tinfoil

Preparation:

  1. Melt the butter without letting it fry. Crumble the biscuits and the walnuts in a plastic bag, Here comes in hand our plastic bag, which makes the process way faster and cleaner. It also works as a wonderful anti-stress exercize.
  2. Add biscuits and walnuts in a bowl, add the melted butter, sugar, cocoa powder and 1 or 2 egg yolk (the yellow part). It's important to have pasteurized eggs, since we won't bake this cake.
  3. Mix everything first with a fork then with your hands. the mix should come off the bowl quite easily and stick in one piece. If that's not the case, add 3-4 spoons of milk and mix again.
  4. Lay the mix on tinfoil and shape it with your hands as a sausage of about 5 cm. diameter. Wrap it in tinfoil and squezze with your hands to remove the last air bubble.
  5. Store your chocolate salami horizontally in the fridge for at least 3 hours. The dessert must be served cold in slices of about 1 cm and preserved in the fridge. I reccommend you to consume it no later than 2 days after preparation.


Note: 

You can also shape this dessert in the form of small truffles or decorate it with sugar sprinkles.
