Chocolate and Amaretti salami
This dessert salami can be made weeks ahead and is great to have on hand to serve to visiting relatives.
Ingredients:
- 170g mixed dried fruit, roughly chopped (we used figs, sultanas and crystallised ginger)
- 1 tablespoon rum
- 100g butter, cubed
- 100g dark chocolate, broken into small pieces (at least 62% cocoa)
- 2/3 cup (220g) sweetened condensed milk
- 170g nuts, lightly toasted, roughly chopped (we used hazelnuts, pistachios and blanched almonds)
- 100g amaretti biscuits, coarsely crushed
- 70g red glacé cherries, left whole
- 2 tablespoons icing sugar
Method
1. Place mixed dried fruit and rum in a bowl, mix well and set aside for 30 minutes to macerate.
2. Place butter, chocolate and condensed milk in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat at 20-second intervals, stirring well in between, until the mixture is smooth and melted.
3. Mix in the macerated fruit, nuts, biscuits and cherries.
4. Divide mixture between 2 large sheets of baking paper and form into logs, twisting the ends of the paper to seal into a tight sausage shape. Chill overnight.
We know what to eat to stay healthy. So why is it so hard to make the right choices?
5. Roll salami in the icing sugar to coat. Cut into thin slices for serving.
