The summer heat has got us craving more and more of those easy-to make, cold summer snacks. But do you know what sounds even better than snacks? Desserts. And by that we mean chocolate desserts, of course! Here is an easy dessert recipe that is a unique mixture of chocolate and tahini, and the new addition to our list of must-try summer desserts. Oh, and did we mention it is a no-bake dessert?

No one is certain where it originates, but Chocolate Salami satisfies each and every one of our summer cravings. We made it using our Tahini Tea Cookies, broken up into smaller pieces to resemble what is usually fat in normal salami. A chocolate-and-condensed-milk mixture makes up what is generally meat in salami, and together with the biscotti it creates a delicious and crunchy chocolate salami. Try it yourself and tell us what you think!
