I wanted to make chocolate salamis to give as gifts this year, but didn't like the recipes with raw egg yolks. Your re-work is great! I like the idea of a truffle mixture as a base. And it worked wonderfully! It sticks together, and tasted great. I used different "mixings". In one case, I crumbled ginger biscuits, and mixed them with almonds, pistachios, dried cranberries and dried cherries, and added just a bit of brandy. The other I used amaretti cookies, almonds, roasted hazelnuts, chopped dried apricots and dried cherries. Both got great reviews! I look forward to experimenting with other ingredients -- maybe adding some spices, as well. Many, many thanks! Thank you for this recipe!

Nice photos and great job on this recipe! I made a little "video" about the Chocolate Salami that I prepared a while ago... It may help some of your readers to see visuals for the technique of forming the salami. Here is a link: http://www.superkitchenmachine.com/2009/3113/thermomixchocolate-salami.html (Don't let the music scare you... it starts out funny and gets better after a few seconds!) Seasonal Cheers to you! Helene Hi Julie!
