Method

  1. To make the Chocolate Salami with Amaretti Cookies, start with the cookies themselves: use your hands to break them up coarsely and collect them in a bowl. Meanwhile, melt the finely chopped dark chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave.

  3. Now pour in the melted dark chocolate and beat the mixture with the whisks until it is smooth, thick and even; then add the crushed amaretti and combine everything well with a kitchen spatula, taking care not to break up the cookies too much.

  4. Transfer the mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper and use a spatula to shape it into the classic log. Bring one end of the sheet toward the center and wrap the salami completely, then close the side ends so they are tightly sealed, and let the salami rest in the refrigerator for at least twelve hours.
