To form the salami (see photos above)
- Place a sheet of kitchen parchment paper on your worktop.
- Form a row of the chocolate mixture close to the nearside edge of the paper.
- Roll the paper tightly away from you, compressing the mixture as tight as possible, to form a sausage shape. Scrunch the ends if needed to stop the mixture falling out.
- When the paper is rolled as tightly as you can get it, wrap in plastic film to keep it in place.
