Chocolate Salami
Chocolate salami is a classic no-bake dessert made with dark and milk chocolate, crushed rich tea biscuits, hazelnuts and pistachios. The Thermomix grinds the caster sugar into fine icing sugar in seconds and melts the chocolate gently with coconut oil, giving a silky mixture that sets into perfect slices.
About this recipe
Chocolate salami Thermomix TM7 is a playful, no-bake dessert that looks exactly like a sliced salami but tastes of rich dark and milk chocolate, buttery rich tea biscuits and crunchy nuts. If you are searching for easy chocolate recipes for your all-in-one kitchen machine, this Italian-inspired classic is a fantastic choice for birthdays, festive tables or homemade edible gifts. The TM7 handles the fiddly parts for you: it grinds caster sugar into silky icing sugar in moments, and its gentle melting function warms the chocolate with coconut oil evenly, so you never seize or scorch the mixture. Hazelnuts and pistachios add colour contrast against the dark chocolate, mimicking the fat specks of a real salami. Once rolled into a log and chilled, you simply slice it into rounds, revealing the beautiful mosaic pattern that makes this dessert such a showstopper with minimal effort.
Preparation tips
- Roll the chocolate salami log tightly in baking parchment or cling film and twist both ends firmly, which keeps the classic cylindrical salami shape while it firms up in the fridge.
- Dust the finished log generously with the homemade icing sugar before serving; it mimics the floury rind of a real salami and stops the slices from sticking together on the platter.
- For a nut-free version suitable for school lunchboxes, replace the hazelnuts and pistachios with extra crushed rich tea biscuits or crispy rice cereal for the same crunchy bite.
Recipe variations
- Make a festive Christmas version by adding a pinch of cinnamon and a handful of dried cranberries to the chocolate mixture, then tying the chilled log with red ribbon before gifting or serving.
- Create a white chocolate variation using only white chocolate with the coconut oil and pistachios; the green nuts look striking against the pale base and give a fresher, sweeter flavour.
Thermomix TM7 Benefits
- Grinding caster sugar into silky icing sugar takes the TM7 just seconds, ready to dust the finished chocolate salami log.
- The built-in scale weighs the dark and milk chocolate directly in the bowl, so the ratios stay accurate without extra washing up.
- Gentle heating melts the chocolate with coconut oil evenly, preventing the seizing that so often happens over a bain-marie.
- Mixing folds the crushed rich tea biscuits, hazelnuts and pistachios into the melted chocolate until every piece is evenly coated.
- Chopping the hazelnuts coarsely in the Thermomix gives chunky nut pieces that create the authentic salami speckle in each slice.
