Preparation time: 15 minutes
Freezing time: 2 hours
Total time: 2 hours and 15 minutes
Number of servings: 8-10 slices
Necessary ingredients
- 400 grams of cookies (such as petit beurre or cocoa cookies)
- 2 teaspoons of honey
- 3 heaping tablespoons of cocoa (high-quality cocoa is ideal for an intense flavor)
- 3 tablespoons of sugar (or brown sugar for a deeper taste)
- 300 ml of milk (you can use whole milk for a creamier taste)
- 2 tablespoons of chocolate-hazelnut spread (like Nutella)
- Rum essence (about 1-2 drops, to taste)
- 1/2 tablespoon of butter (for a smoother consistency)
- Plastic wrap (to roll the salami)
Preparing the cookie salami
1. Crush the cookies: Start by crushing the cookies. You can do this manually by placing them in a bag and using a rolling pin, or use a food processor to achieve a fine texture. You want the cookies to be crumb-like but not so fine that they turn into powder.
2. Dry mixture: In a large bowl, add the crushed cookies, the 3 tablespoons of sugar, 3 tablespoons of cocoa, and honey. Mix the dry ingredients well so they combine evenly.
3. Preparing the wet mixture: In a saucepan, heat the milk over low heat, adding the butter and chocolate-hazelnut spread. Stir constantly until the butter completely melts and the mixture becomes homogeneous. Finally, add the rum essence. Make sure the milk doesn’t boil, just heat it enough to combine the ingredients.
4. Combining ingredients: Once the wet mixture is ready, pour it over the cookie mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix well until all ingredients are fully integrated. The consistency should be moist but not too soft.
5. Forming the salami: Place the mixture on a sheet of plastic wrap. Start rolling it into a salami shape, tucking in the ends to achieve an even shape. Make sure it’s tightly rolled so it doesn’t unravel during freezing.
6. Freezing: Place the cookie salami in the freezer for at least 2 hours. If you prefer to serve the cookie salami in thinner slices, you can leave it in the freezer longer to harden well.
Useful tips
- Customization: You can add nuts, hazelnuts, or raisins to the mixture for a more interesting texture. Be creative and experiment with different ingredients!
- Serving: Cookie salami can be served plain, dusted with sugar, or alongside a scoop of ice cream for a decadent dessert. It also pairs perfectly with a cup of tea or aromatic coffee.
Nutritional benefits
Cookie salami is a quick source of energy due to the carbohydrates from the cookies and the healthy fats from the chocolate spread. Although it’s a dessert, it can be enjoyed in moderation, offering a delicious taste that brings joy in every slice.
