Russian Chocolate Salami

Chocolate salami? That's right. I wrote chocolate and salami together. Have I hooked your attention now?

I first had this dessert in Palestine, but when I saw it was also served in Moldova, I just couldn't pass it up. Besides, who can pass up a dessert called Chocolate Salami?

You'll be surprised at how easy it is to make and how it tastes delightfully like chocolate pudding.
