Chocolate Salami

Well this is the most easy and sinfully chocolaty dessert I have ever made. Trust me you are never going to get any of the desserts done so easily and taste so rich at the same time. To mention, actually it’s a traditional Portuguese dessert made out of crushed cookies, raw eggs, chocolate, butter, rum/wine etc. But in my recipe you would not find any eggs or rum/wine still it would taste sinfully rich and chocolaty .So lets see how it could be get done in a jiff with no effort.



Ingredients:
Marie biscuits – 10-15
Sweetened Condensed milk – ¼ cup
Dark chocolate melted – ¼ cup
Butter – ¼th of a 100gm stick
Almonds chopped – ½ cup
Vanilla essence - 1tsp

Let’s start…
*Grind the biscuits into fine powder.
*Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave along with the butter or you can melt it by double boiling on the stove on low flame.
*Pour the chocolate butter mixture (when it is slightly warm itself), vanilla essence and chopped almonds to the finely powdered biscuits and give it a rough mix.
* Now add the condensed milk little by little at a time and knead the biscuit mixture into smooth and firm dough. Here the consistency of the dough should not get too soft or too hard that’s why it’s been asked to add the condensed milk little by little at a time. Sometimes you might not need the whole ¼ cup of condensed milk to get the right consistency of the dough. That depends upon your measuring cup. Once you are done with the dough you can see the butter oozing out of the dough.
*Now make the dough into cylindrical shape with your hands and wrap it tightly in a cling wrap and keep under refrigeration for 2-3 hours time. (I kept it only for 2 hours)

*After refrigeration remove from the wrap and slice it soon with a sharp knife or else keeping it in the room temperature will make it soft n brittle so it would be pretty difficult to get it sliced neatly.
*Keep for 15-20 minutes before serving in room temperature and can be served with whipped cream, chocolate sauce or shavings or even with a dollop of vanilla ice cream. I served it simply as it is to enjoy the true and rich taste of chocolate.

NOTE: We are not using extra sugar in this recipe coz the condensed milk and the chocolate is already sweet enough. If you want you can add 1-2tsp of sugar.
