Chocolate Salami with Almonds

450g

Chocolate salami is a typical dessert from Portugal and other European countries, similar in appearance to salami, but sweet. It's made with a mixture of chocolate, butter, sugar, and broken biscuits, usually Maria or digestive biscuits. This dough is shaped into a roll, wrapped in parchment paper or cling film, and then refrigerated to harden.

For a traditional touch, the salami is dusted with powdered sugar, creating the visual effect of the fat in traditional salami. When cut, irregular pieces of biscuit are revealed amidst the chocolate, mimicking the white streaks of fat in beef salami. It's a very popular dessert at parties and gatherings, convenient to prepare in advance and can be stored in the refrigerator for several days, ideal for serving to many guests.
