This is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that closely resembles a meat-based salami roll – and it’s perfect to enjoy at any time of the day as well as to serve at gatherings!

The chocolate salami dessert originated in Italy and Portugal with a traditional recipe including cocoa powder, biscuits, butter, eggs, and rum. From there, it spread across the world to become a popular dessert and drove the creation of new recipes.

While this was not a dessert I grew up with, it is a popular dessert of my culture that I always wanted to try. And with respect to the rise of food sensitivities and allergies around the world, I created a recipe without gluten, dairy, or artificial sugars.

And let me tell you, it is absolutely amazing – not just in taste, but texture as well! 

Using vegan honey cookies, dark chocolate, cocoa powder, roasted coconut butter, and vegan marshmallows, the dessert yields a beautiful chocolate roll that does not need baking. The best way I can describe the taste is that it is very similar to S’mores, which are made with graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate – but it is so much easier to eat!

This is a decadent, easy-to-make dessert that I hope that you enjoy with your family and loved ones.
