Diet Chocolate Salami. Traditional and Thermomix Recipe.
Today I give you a “bomb” recipe. Who said that those on a diet can’t indulge in some little treats? Indeed, without sugars but lots of fiber and plenty of protein.
I will give you the option to use low-carb cookies for those on a Mediterranean diet, and also instructions for those on a ketogenic diet with the keto cookies variant
I have transformed a classic recipe of Italian pastry into a diet-friendly dessert that is still delicious and rivals the classic recipe.

Place the biscuits in your food processor and coarsely chop them: Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Now place the nuts in the processor and chop, leaving visible pieces. Transfer to the bowl with the biscuits and set aside. You can also use granules.
Roughly chop the chocolate, place it in a microwave-safe glass bowl with the sweetener and melt.
Now add the Greek yogurt and mix.
Once the mixture has cooled a bit, you can add the yolks and mix vigorously
At this point, add the nuts and biscuits, and mix well with a spatula. Spread a sheet of parchment paper on a kitchen surface and place the mixture, flatten it with a spatula.
Then roll it up into the shape of a salami, twist the ends of the sheet like a candy
Let the salami cool in the refrigerator until it becomes solid.
