Salame al Cioccolato
A very rich dessert, this chocolate nut salami, is very decadent. This salami shaped roll is creamy yet crunchy. Adding the crumbled butter cookies to the melted chocolate gives a great texture to this chocolate dessert. The espresso grounds always compliments any chocolate recipe.

2 sticks butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon espresso, finely grind-ed
1/4 cup almonds, ground
1/4 cup almonds, roughly chopped
1/4 cup pistachios, roughly chopped
Place cookies in a food processor and blend, set aside. Place chocolate in a double boiler with 1 tablespoon butter simmer till chocolate melts. Remove from heat, cool for a few minutes, then stir in egg yolks, coffee, vanilla and the remaining butter. Pour in 3/4 cup of crushed cookies, add almond flour, almonds, and pistachios. Cover with plastic wrap and rest for 1 hour. Lightly oil wax paper, then shape into a 14 inch roll. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for 4 hours. Spread remaining cookies and roll salami until the entire surface is covered. Let stand 1 hour, slice and serve.
