I am very excited about today’s recipe! You may remember that, a few months ago, I shared the recipe for the classic Chocolate Salami. That’s the recipe I grew up eating and it will always have a special place in my heart. However, after publishing it, I got many requests for an eggless version. As this is a recipe that kids literally divour, I thought it would be a great idea to share a “safer” version too. So, here you have my Eggless Chocolate Salami recipe that can be enjoyed by everyone and it 100% safe to eat. It’s great to parties and get-togethers and it is really quick to make. To make it look more like a salami, roll it in icing sugar and tie it up with kitchen string… Enjoy and do let me know how you like it!
