Chocisson for children...

Hi everybody,
I’m Guillemette, a French student on work placement for three months at the famous Skelligs Chocolate Co. factory.
I join Emily and Sarah to write some news and exciting recipes on this blog.

I will share with you a secret family recipe.
In English it’s called "Chocolate salami" but the French name is cleverer… CHOCISSON: a mix between chocolate and “saucisson”

Don’t worry it’s without pork!!!!

I cooked that with Lola, Emily’s little daughter. It’s very easy and children love to mix chocolate and biscuits and form the cake with their hands.

For this recipe you need
- a fridge.
- 4 egg yolks ( you can use the white to cook some meringue)
- 100 g sugar
- a pack of biscuits (~20) (like “Petit Beurre” or something else we tried with a crazy cow herd biscuits maybe more unusual in Ireland!!!)
- 125 g butter
- and 150 g dark chocolate of course.


1. You have to get the butter out of the fridge
2. Beat together sugar and egg yolks
3. Melt the chocolate and add it the softened butter. Mix them.
4. Crush the biscuit in little pieces (you can use a rolling pan and hit the closed packet, it’s probably the better way!!!)
5. Mix chocolate, eggs, sugar and butter together.
6. Add the crushed biscuit and mix. (you can begin with a spatula and finish with hands.)
7. Form a roll on a piece baking paper. Roll it and put it in the fridge.
8. Wait above 2 or 3 hours.
9. When it’s firm. It’s ready. You can dust with icing sugar.
10. Serve your sliced cake at tea time with a cup of tea or coffee or for desert with a custard (“crème anglaise”)
11. ENJOY !!!

Warning : the egg yolks are uncooked so the recipe might not be suitable for very young children or pregnant ladies...
