Who doesn’t nostalgically remember childhood days when simple and delicious desserts were the most loved? Biscuit salami is such a dessert that reminds us of joyful moments spent with family. This recipe is not only easy to prepare but also offers a perfect combination of textures and flavors, making it ideal for any occasion.

Ingredients:

- 250 g biscuits (preferably plain or cocoa biscuits)
- 1 cup nuts (ground or coarsely chopped, depending on your preference)
- 1 cup raisins (you can also use other dried fruits like apricots or cranberries)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 100 g butter (at room temperature for easier mixing)
- 40 g cocoa (of good quality for an intense flavor)
- 4-5 cubes of Turkish delight (optional, but adds a unique touch)
- 1 small bottle of rum essence (or vanilla if you prefer)

Preparation:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by measuring all the ingredients. Make sure the nuts are ground or chopped according to your preferences. If using Turkish delight, cut it into small cubes for better integration into the mixture.

2. Crushing the biscuits: Place the biscuits in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin or with your hands until you get a crumbly consistency. They don’t have to be perfect; some larger pieces can add a pleasant texture.

3. Preparing the mixture: In a pot, place the milk, butter, and sugar. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the butter melts. Do not let it boil!

4. Adding the dry ingredients: Once the milk mixture is homogenized, add cocoa, crushed biscuits, nuts, raisins, and rum essence. Mix well until all ingredients are completely integrated. If you choose to use Turkish delight, add it now.

5. Shaping the salami: Take a large piece of plastic wrap and place the mixture on it. Wrap it tightly, giving it a cylindrical shape like a salami. Make sure it is well packed to hold its shape.

6. Cooling: Place the salamis in the freezer for at least 2 hours. This step is essential as it helps firm up the mixture and achieve an ideal texture.

7. Serving: Once cooled, remove the salamis from the wrap and cut them into thick slices. You can sprinkle cocoa or powdered sugar on top for a more appealing look.

Practical tips:

- Choosing biscuits: Use plain or cocoa biscuits according to your preferences. Digestive biscuits are an excellent choice as they have a finer texture.
- Nuts and fruits: You can experiment with different types of nuts like almonds or hazelnuts. You can also add or replace raisins with other dried fruits like cranberries or apricots.
- Flavor enhancements: Instead of rum essence, you can use vanilla or orange essence for a different flavor.
- Vegan option: For a vegan version, you can use margarine instead of butter and almond or soy milk.
