Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. In a wide saucepan over high heat, bring water to boil. Then, lower the heat to medium.
  3. In a metal bowl, add the butter, chocolate chips, sugar, eggs, and port wine (optional).
  4. Place over the saucepan and cook in a bain marie while stirring for 5 minutes, or until it reaches a smooth consistency.
  5. Pour the chocolate mixture into the bowl with the nuts, and stir to incorporate.
  6. Break the Maria cookies into small chunks of about ½ inch (1cm).
  7. Add the cookies to the chocolate mixture and mix well.
  8. Cover and place this mixture in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes so it is easier to mold.
  9. Pour the chocolate mixture onto the wax paper to form a line the size of the salami you want to shape.
  10. Roll the wax paper around the chocolate mixture firmly. Twist each end to close the salami, and continue rolling to form a log.
  11. 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.
  12. Remove from the refrigerator. Unwrap the chocolate salami.
  13. Dust the wax paper with icing sugar.
  14. Roll the chocolate salami in the wax paper to coat it with the icing sugar.
  15. Slice pieces or place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
