    Keto chocolate salami

    Chocolate salami is a traditional Italian treat known as Salami di Cioccolato which is popular at Christmas time. Traditionally it does not contain any meat, but is called salami due to the resemblance.

    To ketofy our chocolate salami we wanted to find a crunchy alternative to the shortbread cookies that are normally included. It can be tricky to make a crunchy keto cookie, without traditional flour and sugar, so we ruled that out. Which led us to … pork rinds, yes pork rinds! I know, don’t freak out. The pork rinds just give a nice crunchiness similar to a rice bubble (rise krispie), trust me.

    Tips for making keto chocolate salami

    • Make sure they are good quality pork rinds/crackle chips with no junky ingredients and are light, airy and crispy.
    • You can find our keto granola here
    • Instead of the granola you can use a mixture of coconut and whatever nuts you have on hand.
    • If you don’t have powdered sweetener (which is icing sugar consistency) you can grind granulated sweetener in a blender or food processor to make a finer powder.

    Ingredients

    • 200 g 85% dark chocolate, chopped (7 oz)

    • ½ cup powdered sweetener
    • 1 tsp vanilla
    • 1 egg, large

    • Melt the chocolate in a glass bowl over a pan of simmering water. Set aside to cool
    • Beat the butter, sweetener and vanilla on high speed until pale and fluffy

    • Add the cooled chocolate to the butter mixture and stir to combine until completely smooth
    • Add the pork rinds and granola and stir to combine. Set aside to slightly harden so you can shape and roll the mixture
    • Shape the mixture into a log approximately 30cms long on a sheet of glad wrap. Wrap tightly and twist the ends of the glad wrap (like a bon bon) to tighten and smooth the sides. Refrigerate overnight to set
    • To serve, remove from the glad wrap. Dust with powdered sweetener and and slice into 1 cm rounds

      I am vegetarian. Can I replace the pork rind with something?

        Hi Nadia, maybe some extra nuts or coconut flakes?

      Not sure how I could stuff up something so easy, after making about 12 rolls (non keto) for friends last Christmas, but anyway it was a disaster!
      So, I let the mixture really soften and made it into rum balls, minus the rum, so no wasted food, and now won’t need to make the rum balls! 🙂

          Totally fell apart on cuting. If I make it again, I will cut the nuts up a bit as they were so hard!

      To clarify, is the chocolate unsweetened bakers squares?

        Hi Maryann! We used 85% dark chocolate in the recipe. You can use unsweetened (100%) chocolate but you may need to add in some more sweetener. Hope this helps!

      I am Portuguese and chocolate salami is a popular treat for us, so I am very curious to try this. What brand(s) of pork rinds do you recommend?

        Our recommendation is that you use the airy, crunchy ones. They also need to be plain and if you can find ones that aren’t cooked in canola oil, but are cooked in pork fat, they are the best. The pork rinds don’t add flavour, but they add a delicious texture.

      Hi! This looks yummy, how many servings?

        It’s 30 Serves. Each serve is 1cm thick. When we make it we get about a 30cm log from that mixture. Hope this helps. I can vouch that I wasn’t sure about it, but once I tried it, I was impressed. The pork rinds are a bit off putting, but they have no flavour and give it a rice bubble texture. Let us know if you make it and what you think.

      What about the raw egg in this ? It is not cooked, concerned about getting sick from raw eggs.

        We don’t have a problem with consuming raw egg yolks as long as you are purchasing good quality free range/pastured eggs. I guess it is personal preference though.

          Do you think it would work without the raw egg?

            The egg is what binds it together and I’m not sure what you would use as a substitute
