Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooling time: 4 hours
Total time: 4 hours and 20 minutes
Servings: 10-12

Necessary ingredients

- 300 g plain biscuits (you can use cocoa biscuits for a more intense flavor)
- 100 g butter (or margarine if you prefer a dairy-free option)
- 250 g sugar (preferably powdered sugar for a finer texture)
- 100 g cocoa powder (we recommend quality cocoa for a richer taste)
- 2 eggs (preferably at room temperature)

Step by step – Your guide to perfect biscuit salami

1. Prepare the ingredients: Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature. This will help in homogenizing the mixture. Take the butter out of the fridge about 30 minutes before you start.

2. Cream the butter and sugar: In a large bowl, add the softened butter and sugar. Using a mixer or a spatula, mix well until you get a fluffy and homogeneous cream. This step is essential for achieving a fine texture for the dessert.

3. Add the eggs: Incorporate the eggs into the butter cream, mixing well until fully integrated. This ingredient will add moisture and improve consistency.

4. Incorporate cocoa: Add cocoa powder and mix again. You'll enjoy the intense aroma that will fill your kitchen! Make sure there are no lumps left to achieve a uniform mixture.

5. The biscuits: Crush the biscuits into small pieces, but not so fine that they turn to dust. You can use a rolling pin or a food processor to facilitate this process. Add the crushed biscuits to the butter and cocoa mixture, gently mixing with a spatula.

6. Forming the salami: On a sheet of aluminum foil, place the mixture and, using your hands, shape it into a cylinder. Make sure it is tightly wrapped to hold its shape. Wrap it tightly in foil and twist the ends to seal.

7. Cooling: Place the salamis in the fridge for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight. This step helps to firm up the mixture so you can cut perfectly even slices.

8. Serving: Once firm, unwrap the aluminum foil and cut the salamis into thick slices of about 1-2 cm. You can sprinkle them with powdered sugar for a more elegant look or glaze them with melted chocolate for a spectacular effect.

Practical tips

- Variations: You can add chopped nuts, dried fruits, or even chocolate chips to diversify the recipe. Also, instead of cocoa, you can use melted chocolate for a different taste.

- Combinations: Biscuit salami pairs wonderfully with a scoop of ice cream or a cup of aromatic coffee. You might try serving it alongside a fruit tea for a complete experience.

- Calories and nutritional benefits: Each serving of biscuit salami has about 200-250 calories, depending on the ingredients. Although it is a calorie-rich dessert, the biscuits contain carbohydrates that can provide quick energy, and cocoa has beneficial antioxidants for health.

Frequently asked questions

- Can I replace the eggs? Yes, you can use an egg substitute (for example, 1/4 cup of applesauce or 1 well-mashed banana for each egg) if you want a vegan option.

- How do I store biscuit salami? You can keep it in the fridge, well-wrapped in plastic wrap, for up to a week. It can also be frozen for later use.

- What if I run out of cocoa? You can experiment with carob powder or even almond powder for a different yet delicious flavor.

Remember: Making biscuit salami is not just a fun activity, but also a great way to connect with loved ones. You can invite the kids to help you crush the biscuits or shape the salami – it will be an unforgettable experience! So, let’s get to work and enjoy a dessert that will bring a smile to your face!
