Moreover, the texture and flavor of Green Sugar resemble those of regular sugar, making the preparation of this dessert simple and stress-free. So, let’s embark on the adventure of making this cookie salami recipe!

Necessary Ingredients

- 300g Petit Beurre cookies (or digestive biscuits for a healthier option)
- 150g vegetable butter (or margarine for a vegan option)
- 100g Green Sugar
- 30g quality cocoa powder
- (Optional) 1-2 tablespoons of rum essence
- (Optional) 100g Turkish delight with various flavors, cut into cubes

Preparation Steps

1. Crushing the Cookies
Start by crushing the Petit Beurre cookies. You can do this using a food processor or, if you don’t have one, place them in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Coarse grinding will provide a pleasant texture, but make sure there aren’t too many large pieces.

2. Preparing the Mixture
In a large bowl, add the crushed cookies, melted vegetable butter (you can melt it in the microwave for a few seconds), and Green Sugar. Mix well, ensuring all ingredients combine evenly. Then, add the cocoa powder and rum essence if you chose to use it. Continue mixing until you achieve a homogeneous composition. If you choose to add chopped Turkish delight, now is the time to incorporate it.

3. Forming the Salami
Lay out a piece of cling film on a clean countertop. Place the cookie mixture in the center of the film and shape it into a cylinder, rolling carefully. Tightly seal the ends of the film to prevent air from escaping.

4. Cooling the Dessert
Place the salami in the refrigerator to harden. It is recommended to leave it overnight, but if you’re short on time, wait at least 4 hours.

5. Serving
Once the salami has hardened, you can slice it and serve it. An original idea is to use an elegant platter and arrange the slices, possibly alongside some fresh fruit or a scoop of ice cream to create a contrast of textures and flavors. If you have leftover mixture, you can put it in stemmed glasses and add a little milk on top to soften the cookies.

Chef's Tip

If you want to add a touch of originality to your recipe, you can replace cocoa with carob powder or add chopped nuts for extra crunch. You can also use cookies with different flavors to create a salami with a more complex taste.

Nutritional Benefits

This version of cookie salami has the advantage of being low in calories due to the use of Green Sugar. The cookies provide carbohydrates, while the vegetable butter adds healthy fats. Additionally, cocoa contains antioxidants, essential benefits for heart health.
