Questions

Can I make Chocolate Salami dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cubed, 1/4 cup heavy cream. Swap the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed; the cream for full-fat coconut milk or an oat cooking cream. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

How long does Chocolate Salami keep?

Keep it covered in the refrigerator and eat it within three days.

Can I halve or double Chocolate Salami?

Yes. As written it serves 10. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
