Ingredients:

1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup keto-friendly sweetener (like erythritol or monk fruit)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or hazelnuts)
1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
Powdered erythritol (for dusting)

METHOD

Step 1: Prepare the Mixture

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, and sweetener until well combined.
Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Fold in Add-ins: Gently fold in the chopped nuts and shredded coconut, and chocolate chips if using. The mixture should be thick and slightly sticky.
Step 2: Shape the Salami

Form the Log: Lay a piece of plastic wrap on a clean surface. Transfer the mixture onto the plastic wrap and shape it into a log (about 8-10 inches long).
Wrap it Up: Tightly wrap the log in the plastic wrap, twisting the ends to secure it.
Step 3: Chill the Salami

Refrigerate: Place the wrapped log in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm. For best results, chill overnight.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Unwrap and Slice: Once firm, remove the chocolate salami from the plastic wrap.
Dust with Powdered Sweetener: Dust the outside with powdered erythritol for a snowy effect, if desired. Slice and Serve: Use a sharp knife to slice the salami into rounds. Serve it as a dessert or snack, and enjoy the rich chocolatey flavor!
Tips and Variations:

Nut-Free Option: Substitute almond flour with sunflower seed flour for a nut-free version.
Flavor Variations: Add a splash of espresso or a few drops of peppermint extract for a different flavor profile.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. It can also be frozen for longer storage.
