Ingredients for 8 people:
- 200 g of dry cookies
- 100 g of sugar
- 150 g of butter softened at room temperature
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 spoonfuls of unsweetened cocoa
- 1 small cup of Marsala or Vinsanto
Method
- First, whisk the sugar with the yolks until you get a smooth, creamy mixture. Then, add the butter, cocoa powder, and liqueur.
- Blend everything together until it’s well combined, and then stir in the crushed cookies. Once it’s firm enough, shape it into a log with your hands. Wrap it in parchment paper and put it in the fridge.
- You can slice it into pieces that resemble Tuscan salami, which is how it gets its name.
(Note) It should keep well in the fridge for up to a week.

Hi, I was there last week with Natalie Marchett and we made this dessert. It was my husband’s birthday. I just wanted to check because I don’t remember putting marsala cooking wine in this recipe as stated above.
I was there also – on October 13. I don’t remember the marsala either.
We did the wonderful cooking course today with Giuseppina and her fabulous team, the Salame Dolce was Devine and so simple to make. Definitely the Marsala wine added to the flavour – Bellissimo!!
Giussippina Help!!! We are getting a very wet mixture and out much more cookies to try to dry it up. Seems like the vin santo might have made it too wet? Or not enough cocoa powder??
This is Troyann 🙂 ciao bella!
I was there 3/56 and don’t remember the marsala either?
Also, I don’t see a recipe for the pasta that we made?
