Keto Chocolate Salami
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 Nut & Seed Granola recipe 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.

- 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.
