Instructions
- Toast the slivered almonds and pistachios on a pan over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, stirring regularly. Add to a bowl and set aside.
- In a wide saucepan over high heat, bring water to boil. Then, lower the heat to medium.
- In a metal bowl, add the butter, chocolate chips, sugar, eggs, and port wine (optional).
- Place over the saucepan and cook in a bain marie while stirring for 5 minutes, or until it reaches a smooth consistency.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the bowl with the nuts, and stir to incorporate.
- Break the Maria cookies into small chunks of about ½ inch (1cm).
- Add the cookies to the chocolate mixture and mix well.
- Cover and place this mixture in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes so it is easier to mold.
- Pour the chocolate mixture onto the wax paper to form a line the size of the salami you want to shape.
- Roll the wax paper around the chocolate mixture firmly. Twist each end to close the salami, and continue rolling to form a log.
- Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Take it out and roll it a couple times in the first 30 minutes to obtain a nice round log, otherwise it may flatten.
- Remove from the refrigerator. Unwrap the chocolate salami.
- Dust the wax paper with icing sugar.
- Roll the chocolate salami in the wax paper to coat it with the icing sugar.
- Slice pieces or place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
