Ingredients

The following ingredients have 30 Servings
  • 1/2 cup(s) dried cherries, chopped coarse
  • 2 tablespoon(s) grand marnier
  • 4 ounce(s) lady fingers( savolardi),cut into 1/2" chunks
  • 1 cup(s) semi-sweet chocolate or bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup(s) heavy cream
  • pinch(es) salt
  • 2/3 cup(s) pistachios, toasted
  • 1/2 cup(s) confectioners' sugar

Instruction

  • Combine cherries and Grand Marnier-microwave in small owl until hot, apx. 30 seconds. Let stand 15 min or until cool and softened
  • 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.
  • 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
  • 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)
  • 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
