Chocolate Salami
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons orange liqueur
- 9 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup whole almonds
- Zest of one orange
- 1 cup butter cookie crumbs
- 1/4 cup crystallized ginger slices, chopped
- 2 egg yolks, beaten
- Soak dried cranberries in water and orange liqueur for 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Melt chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler over simmering water until smooth and combined, 3 to 5 minutes. When melted, add the sugar, almonds, orange zest, drained cranberries, cookie crumbs, and crystallized ginger. Stir to combine and remove from heat. Cool for a few minutes. Add the beaten egg yolks and allow the mixture to come to room temperature.
- Form the chocolate mixture into a log, smoothing the surface to be sure none of the filling is sticking out. Wrap the log in wax paper and refrigerate until firm. Slice and serve.
