I fell in love with Salame de Chocolate in a tiny Lisbon pastelaria—not as a grand finale to a meal, but as a humble, everyday treat wrapped in wax paper and enjoyed with a tiny, strong coffee. It was love at first crumbly, chocolaty, impossible-to-eat-neatly bite. This is not a fussy dessert. It’s a playful, ridiculously easy no-bake confection that looks astonishingly like a savory salami but tastes like the best chocolate cookie dough you’ve ever had, studded with crunchy biscuits and often a hint of port wine. It’s the genius of Portuguese home cooking: transforming pantry staples into something magical, sliceable, and utterly irresistible.
Best of all? You don't need an oven, special skills, or even a bowl. One saucepan and 10 minutes of hands-on time is all it takes to create a dessert that will have everyone asking, "You made this?!"
