Salame di cioccolato senza uova

Chocolate salami is the dessert of our childhood, the one that mothers prepare in many Italian families. The recipe we propose is without eggs . An easy dessert, without cooking, which is made in a few minutes: unsweetened cocoa powder, butter, sugar, milk and of course cookies/biscuits! Many times suggested to finish those last dry biscuits that begin to be too soft.

Perfect for children’s snack or as a dessert served with whipped cream, gelato or custard.
