Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooling time: 3 hours
Total time: 3 hours and 20 minutes
Number of servings: 10-12 servings

Ingredients

- 200 g cookies (recommended: Petit Beurre)
- 100 g walnuts
- 200 g Turkish delight
- 50 g raisins
- 3 tablespoons cocoa
- 100 ml water
- 150 g sugar
- 50 g butter
- rum essence (to taste)

Preparing the Cookie Salami

Step 1: Preparing the ingredients

First, make sure you have all the ingredients at hand. Petit Beurre cookies are perfect for this recipe due to their tender texture and balanced sweetness. You can crumble them by hand or place them in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Do this carefully, to achieve pieces that are not too fine, giving a bit of character to your dessert.

Step 2: The nuts and Turkish delight

Chop the walnuts using a rolling pin or, if you prefer, in a food processor. Vary the amount of walnuts according to your preferences, but remember that they add a nice crunch and delicious flavor. Cut the Turkish delight into small cubes, so it integrates perfectly into the mixture. If you want to enhance their flavor, you can lightly toast them in a pan without oil.

Step 3: Mixing the dry ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the crumbled cookies, chopped walnuts, Turkish delight, raisins, and cocoa. Mix these ingredients well, so they distribute evenly and the flavors blend.

Step 4: Preparing the syrup

In a saucepan, pour the water and sugar and put them over medium heat. Stir periodically until the sugar completely dissolves and the mixture starts to boil. Let it boil for 5-7 minutes until you obtain a thick syrup. It is important not to exceed the boiling time to avoid getting a syrup that is too dense.

Step 5: Finalizing the mixture

After the syrup is ready, add the cubed butter and stir continuously until it completely melts. Let the syrup cool slightly before adding it to the bowl with cookies and the other ingredients. Add a few drops of rum essence for extra flavor and mix everything very well.

Step 6: Forming the salami

Place a piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface. Pour the mixture onto the wrap and shape it into a salami. Wrap it tightly in the plastic, ensuring there are no air pockets. This step is essential to maintain the shape and prevent the dessert from drying out.

Step 7: Cooling

Put the cookie salami in the refrigerator and let it set for at least 3 hours. If you are impatient, you can leave it to cool longer, even overnight, for a more intense taste and texture.

Serving and Variations

After it has chilled, carefully unwrap it and cut the cookie salami into slices. You can serve it plain, or decorate it with a little cocoa or coconut on top. It is delicious alongside a cup of coffee or a mug of warm milk, perfect for a relaxing afternoon.

If you want to add a touch of originality, you can try adding a few slices of banana or even pieces of chocolate to the mixture. You can also experiment with different types of nuts, such as almonds or hazelnuts, to achieve new textures and flavors.

Nutritional Benefits

Cookie salami is not just a tasty dessert but also a source of energy due to the natural sugars from the cookies and dried fruits. The walnuts add healthy fats and protein, while cocoa is rich in antioxidants. It is a dessert that can be enjoyed in moderation, having about 200 calories per serving, depending on the ingredients used.
