Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 c dried cherries, chopped coarse
2 Tbsp grand marnier
4 oz lady fingers( savolardi),cut into 1/2" chunks
1 c semi-sweet chocolate or bittersweet chocolate chips
1/3 c heavy cream
pinch salt
2/3 c pistachios, toasted
1/2 c confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Combine cherries and Grand Marnier-microwave in small owl until hot, apx. 30 seconds. Let stand 15 min or until cool and softened
  • 2. Reserve 1 cup of ladyfingers (that were cut into 1/2" chunks), and process remaining ladyfingers to fine crumbs-you should enter up with apx. 3/4 cup.
  • 3. Microwave in large bowl the chocolate chips and cream at 50% power until melted and smooth, stirring frequently. Should take apx. 30-60 seconds. Add salt and ladyfinger crumbs and stir to combine. Add pistachios, reserved lady fingers and cherry mixture and stir until thick dough forms
  • 4. Divide dough in half and place each half on large sheet of plastic wrap. Use plastic to roll each dough into tight 6 inch logs, twisting ends well to secure. Refrigerate logs until firm, 3 hrs (can be stored in refrigerator up to 3 days)
  • 5. When ready to serve, place confectioners sugar into shallow flat dish. Unwrap logs and roll in sugar until coated, brushing off excess (make it look like a salami!). Cut into 1/2 inch slices. Serve
