Recipe that Anna found and we tried during our 14 day nutrition reboot with Jill. It’s sweet and delicious and would eat it outside the reboot.

Chocolate Salami
- Total time: 6 Hours
- Servings: 12 Slices
Ingredients
- 10 Large Medjool Dates, pitted
- 3 Tbsp Liquid Coconut Oil, not hot
- 1 1/2 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 Cup Mixed Raw Nuts (I used almonds, cashews and pistachios)
- 1/8 tsp Salt
- 2 Tbsp Unsweetened, Shredded Coconut
Directions
- 1)
Into a food processor, place dates, cocoa powder and melted coconut oil.
Tip: Ensure the coconut oil is melted but not hot. This facilitates easier blending of the dates and allows them to absorb the oil without being greasy.
- 2)
Process for about 30 seconds, scrape down the sides of the processor, and continue processing for an additional 1 minute until it becomes very smooth.
- 3)
Transfer mixture into a medium bowl, add nuts and salt. Stir until evenly combined.
Tip: Since almonds are much harder than the other nuts, I prefer giving them a rough chop before mixing. This ensures a more uniform distribution and makes slicing easier.
- 4)
Transfer the mixture onto a work surface and shape it into a thick log. Roll it in the unsweetened, shredded coconut. Wrap it in parchment paper or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to 2 days.
- 5)
Using a sharp knife, slice the chocolate salami into ¼ or ½ inch thick slices. Transfer into an air-tight container and store it in the fridge.
Tip: For the best texture, enjoy it cold, directly from the fridge.
