No-Bake Christmas Chocolate Salami

Ingredients

  • 100g (3½ oz) dark chocolate
  • 100g (3½ oz) milk chocolate
  • 50g (¼ cup) butter
  • 1 egg
  • 50g (¼ cup) white sugar
  • 20g (1 tbsp + 2 tsp) brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brewed coffee (omit if you don't like coffee)

Salami contents (see notes):

  • 165g (6 oz) M&Ms
  • 20g (¾ oz) pepparkakor
  • 20g (¾ oz) honeycomb

Instructions

  • Melt the chocolate along with the butter in a Bain Marie / double boiler.
  • Combine the egg, sugar and coffee and add to the melted chocolate mixture.
  • Stir regularly, and cook for around five minutes (just until the sugar melts).
  • Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a while.
  • Prepare the contents of your salami (see notes) and add to a bowl.
  • Pour over the chocolate mixture and stir carefully, just until everything is combined.
  • Place the bowl in the fridge for around an hour to set a little.
  • Pour your mixture out onto a long piece of cling-film and gently shaped it so you have a long, rough "sausage".
  • Roll up the cling-film and gently squeeze, roll and push until your "salami" is smooth and round.
  • Twist the ends of the cling-film tightly, and place in the fridge for another hour.
  • Remove the salami and roll again to get it as round and smooth as possible.
  • Place back in the fridge and leave overnight.
  • When ready to serve, sprinkle icing sugar over a piece of baking paper.
  • Remove the clingfilm, and roll the salami in it, brushing off any excess. Cut into thick slices.
  • Keep at room temperature (popping it back in the fridge if you don't eat it all in one go). Enjoy!

Notes

 
  1. I used pepparkakor (gingerbread) but you can use any cookie you like. I also had some leftover gingerbread honeycomb and threw that in. You can use anything for your chocolate salami. This could be candy, dried fruit, nuts, you name it.

I have converted grams to cups/ounces/tablespoons using online converters. Although I have no reason to believe they are inaccurate, please be aware that I have not made the recipe with imperial measurements.
In addition, many ingredients are different in Europe compared to North America. I do all I can to offer possible alternatives and to ensure the best possible outcomes for everyone. However, results cannot always be guaranteed if you have not used the same ingredients, measurements or methods as me.
Lastly, I do everything I can to ensure that my recipes (and instructions) are accurate and easy to follow. However, I am human, and don't always get it right. If you notice anything strange, a mistake, or even a typo, please let me know in the comments.
