Ingredients: F W V Ef
(serves 6-8 people)
- 1 cup of crushed amaretto cookies
- 1 cup of crushed dry biscuits (like Marie or Petit Buerre)
- 6 Tbsp. of sugar
- 3 oz. unsalted butter
- 3 oz. dark chocolate
- 1 tbsp. dark cocoa
- 1/4 cup Marsala sweet wine
- powdered sugar
Cut the butter into small pieces and leave it at room temperature until soft. Cut the chocolate into small pieces and melt it in a double boiler. Put the amaretto cookies and the biscuits in a plastic bag and crush them into crumbs (do not pulverize them).
With an electric beater, beat together the butter and sugar, until smooth and creamy, add the Marsala wine a little at a time, then add the melted chocolate and the cocoa powder. When all these ingredients are well mixed, add the cookies and biscuits. Stir with a spatula until well blended together.
Transfer this mixture onto wax paper or plastic, give it the shape of a salame, and wrap it tightly by twisting the ends of the paper or plastic.
Refrigerate for 4-5 hours, remove from wrapping and dust it with the powdered sugar. Cut it into 1/2 inch slices before serving.
