White chocolate salami

  Recipe updated january 2019

Being born and raised in eastern europe chocolate salami had its place on our table all my childhood.It's so easy to make,there's no baking required and always a crowd pleaser!

This dessert is popular across Europe but traditional in many eastern europe countries.As i said,growing up my mother used to make us chocolate salami all the time.

Like any other mother she wanted to satisfy our sweet tooth with super easy to put together treats and i can remember my happy face every time she grabbed her apron!

My mom’s chocolate salami recipe calls for turkish delight and involves shredded coconut too maybe one day i’ll publish that recipe too but in this one i substituted dark chocolate for white chocolate and i also added dried fruits and nuts for texture.If you like white chocolate and want to change your chocolate salami repertoire add this white chocolate salami to your list of recipes to try.
