Most of us have fond memories of helping our parents or grandparents prepare this dessert. Whether served at birthdays, holidays, or simply as a sweet snack, biscuit salami reminds us of beautiful moments spent with family.
Our ingredients are simple, but together they create an explosion of flavors that will delight your taste buds. Here’s what you will need to prepare this quick and delicious dessert:
Ingredients:
- 500 g plain biscuits (popular biscuits)
- 1 bottle of rum essence
- 150 ml water (for the vegan version)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 4 tablespoons water (for the cocoa sauce)
- 100 g margarine (or butter for the sweet version)
- A handful of raisins
- 2 tablespoons jam (preferably apricot or sour cherry)
Step by step in preparing the biscuit salami:
1. Breaking the biscuits: Start by breaking the biscuits into small pieces, about 2-3 cm. This might seem like the hardest part, but it’s also a relaxing activity. If you prefer, you can use a rolling pin to crush the biscuits, but don’t overdo it – we want texture!
2. Preparing the cocoa syrup: In a saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons of cocoa, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and 4 tablespoons of water. Place over medium heat and stir constantly. Let it boil for a few minutes, then remove from heat. Add the margarine and stir until completely melted and smooth. This cocoa sauce will give your dessert a rich flavor.
3. Adding flavors: Place the broken biscuits in a large bowl and pour over them the rum essence and water. Mix well to ensure all the biscuits are flavored. Then, pour the cocoa sauce and mix again, so that each biscuit piece is coated with this delicious mixture.
4. Including raisins and jam: Add the raisins and jam, stirring gently to avoid crushing the biscuits. The raisins add moisture and a sweet taste, while the jam perfectly complements the flavor profile.
5. Forming the rolls: On a clean table, lay out a sheet of plastic wrap. Place half of the mixture on the wrap and form a roll, wrapping it tightly. Repeat the process with the other half of the mixture. Ensure the rolls are well sealed to prevent them from opening during cooling.
6. Cooling: Place the rolls in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or until they are well set. This step is essential to achieve a perfect biscuit salami.
7. Serving and decorating: Once the salami has set, remove the plastic wrap and cut it into thick slices. You can decorate it with a simple glaze of cocoa and sugar or with a sheet of burnt sugar for an elegant look. This little detail will transform a simple dessert into a true delicacy.
Useful tips for a perfect result:
- Use quality biscuits, as they will influence the final taste of the dessert.
- If you want a less sweet version, you can reduce the amount of sugar in the cocoa sauce.
- Experiment with different types of jam or add chopped nuts for extra texture and flavor.
- If you want to make the biscuit salami even more special, you can add some chocolate pieces or dried fruits.

Biscuit salami is a quick source of energy due to the carbohydrates from the biscuits and sugar. Additionally, raisins provide fiber and antioxidants, contributing to a balanced diet. Of course, like any dessert, it should be consumed in moderation.
