Chocolate Salami or Salame is an Italian no-bake dessert usually made with dark chocolates, crunchy crackers, egg, butter and a little alcohol. So, of course, it is an international dish and this had been an experiment. They came out almost perfect in my first trial itself…. But I made it again to make the final recipe. Also, I used pieces of KitKat that had been in my refrigerator. We got a lot of KitKat during the Easter and My refrigerator had been loaded with a pile of those sweet chocolates.
Only difference from the original chocolate salami is that this is an eggless and alcohol-free version. I also used roasted and powdered pistachios in the recipe. And mine is a rectangle shaped chocolate salami also. Now to the recipe,

The eggless chocolate salami can be served as just slices, but it will be more delicious when served with ice-cream. This is a really addictive dessert. You can also add different nuts also.
