Additionally, it's a versatile recipe that can be customized to your taste. Let's get started!

Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooling time: 1 hour
Total time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Number of servings: 8-10

Necessary ingredients:

- 500 g plain cookies
- 250 ml milk
- 200 g soft margarine (or butter for a richer taste)
- 5 tablespoons cocoa
- 10 tablespoons sugar (you can adjust the amount to taste)
- 5 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 200 g coconut
- Rum essence to taste

Preparing the cookie roll:

1. Boiling the milk: In a medium saucepan, add the milk, cocoa, sugar, and rum essence. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly to avoid lumps. When the mixture starts to boil, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. This step is essential for achieving a smooth and delicious composition.

2. Preparing the cookies: In a large bowl, crush the plain cookies until they become a fine powder. This will help bind the ingredients together and provide a pleasant texture to the roll. If you prefer a more rustic texture, you can leave some larger cookie pieces.

3. Combining the ingredients: Add the soft margarine (or butter, if you choose) and powdered sugar over the cookies. Pour in the cooled milk mixture and mix well until you achieve a homogeneous composition. It's important to ensure that the margarine is well integrated; otherwise, you will have lumps of butter in the roll.

4. Adding the coconut: Incorporate the coconut into the cookie mixture. This will not only add a special flavor but also contribute to the fine texture of the dessert. If you want a more intense coconut flavor, you can also use toasted coconut flakes.

5. Forming the roll: On a piece of plastic wrap, spread the obtained mixture into a rectangular shape, making sure to smooth it out. Using the wrap, carefully roll the dessert, forming a tight roll. Fold the ends of the wrap and place the roll in the refrigerator for about 1 hour to firm up.

6. Serving: After the cooling time has passed, remove the roll from the refrigerator and unwrap it. Cut the roll into thick slices and sprinkle some coconut on top for an attractive appearance. You can serve the cookie roll alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or with warm chocolate sauce for an even more decadent experience.

Practical tips:

- You can experiment with different types of cookies, such as chocolate cookies or digestive biscuits, to add a personal touch.
- If you prefer a stronger rum flavor, feel free to add more essence, but be careful not to overdo it, so as not to overpower the other flavors.
- The roll can be kept in the refrigerator for a few days, but it is best when consumed fresh.

This cookie roll is not only a quick dessert but also an excellent choice for any occasion. Whether you prepare it for a party or simply to treat yourself, it will surely bring a smile to your face. Enjoy!
