The fun of this recipe is taking what’s traditionally considered a savoury delicacy and transforming it into a sweet surprise. This moreish ‘salami’ will delight your guests, taking the exquisite macadamia-and-chocolate combination and presenting it in a truly imaginative and unexpected way!
Ingredients
- 200 g good quality dark (70%) chocolate
- 90 g unsalted butter
- ¼ cup whole milk
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 cup macadamias chopped
- ¼ cup icing sugar
Instructions
- Place the chocolate and butter in the top part of a double boiler saucepan and simmer over medium heat until the butter and chocolate have melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the milk and egg yolks. Stir through the macadamias and place the bowl of mixture in the fridge to cool for 45 minutes, or until the chocolate is partially set and you can pinch it together. As it cools, stir with a rubber spatula two or three times to disperse the chocolate around the edges of the bowl where it is setting more quickly.
- Tip the cooled mixture onto a large piece of baking paper and using your hands, form the mixture into a salami shape, approximately 30cm long and 6cm wide. Twist the ends of the baking paper together and place in the fridge for 5 hours, intermittently removing it to reshape so that it does not get a flat bottom.
- To serve, remove the baking paper. Sift the icing sugar onto a large piece of baking paper and roll the salami around so that it is heavily coated with icing sugar. If desired, you could tie with string to give the effect of a hanging salami.
- Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. To serve, cut into 1cm slices and enjoy immediately.
