Chocolate Salame a delicious Italian Chocolate recipe, a fast and easy no bake sweet. Snack or Dessert the perfect treat.
My daughter has been bugging me for so long to make Chocolate Salame. So when she got back from a visit with her friend’s family, she started again on “Ma you got to make this, I even have the recipe”!
My husband I have to say had never tasted it before and said he had never heard of it before either! Which needless to say was a complete surprise to me, as this tasty No Bake Chocolate recipe is a must make for most Italians at either Christmas or Easter.
So after making it a couple of times and mixing up the recipe, I came up with this winning combination. And it was so good. Creamy and chocolatey.
Made with dark chocolate, cocoa, icing sugar and tea biscuits, I did add eggs because I believe it tastes better with them.
All lot of Italian recipes are with raw eggs, from Chocolate Salame to Tiramisu, although of course we tend to use pasteurized eggs more.
Chocolate Salame
After I made the Salame. I rolled it up and refrigereated it for approximately 2 – 3 hours. I removed it from the fridge, rolled it in some icing sugar and then presented it to the Italian. I asked him if he would like to cut the Chocolate Salame?
After the first slice he exclaimed “It looks just like Salame and tastes amazing”! Easy and no bake just what I like. Enjoy!

Allison says
Could this be made ahead of time? How long would it keep in the fridge or could it be frozen?
Rosemary says
Hi Alison it will probably last about 4 or 5 days in the fridge. 🙂

We are hosting Easter at our house and it’ll be great to see our kids and grandkids. It’s been a long three months. 🙁 I bet our grandsons would get a big kick out of the chocolate salami — they are crazy about regular salami. I’ll let you know what they think. I don’t think I’ll tell them it’s chocolate. Un Abbraccio!

Hi Marisa, thanks I hope they enjoy it!
