Preparation time
- Preparation time: 30 minutes
- Cooling time: 2 hours
- Total time: 2 hours and 30 minutes
- Number of servings: 10-12

Ingredients
- 1 kg biscuits (preferably digestive or plain biscuits)
- 400 ml water
- 300 g vegan margarine
- 200 g raisins (you can choose golden or black raisins, depending on your preference)
- 200 g Turkish delight (cut into cubes)
- 100 g ground walnuts (you can also use almonds or hazelnuts for a personal touch)
- 200 g sugar
- 4 tablespoons cocoa (good quality cocoa will add an intense flavor)
- Coconut (for decoration)
- Rum essence (optional, but recommended for extra flavor)

Preparing the biscuit salami
1. Preparing the base: In a pot, add water and sugar. Place the pot over medium heat and stir until the sugar completely dissolves. Once the mixture starts to boil, let it simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.

2. Adding the margarine: Add the margarine to the warm syrup and stir until completely melted. It’s important that the margarine is at room temperature to melt easily.

3. Preparing the biscuits: Crush the biscuits into small pieces, but not too fine. You can use a rolling pin or a food processor. It’s better to have small pieces for a pleasant texture in the salami.

4. Mixing the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the crushed biscuits, raisins, diced Turkish delight, ground walnuts, cocoa, and rum essence. All dry ingredients should be well integrated.

5. Adding the syrup: Pour the syrup mixture (margarine and sugar) over the dry ingredients. Mix well with a spatula or your hands (make sure your hands are clean) until all ingredients are evenly soaked.

6. Forming the salami: Divide the mixture into two or three portions, depending on how thick you want the salamis to be. Use plastic wrap to shape each portion into a roll. Make sure to tightly wrap the plastic to achieve a uniform shape.

7. Cooling: Place the salamis in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This step is crucial to allow the salami to firm up and achieve a pleasant texture.

8. Serving: Once the salamis have set, remove them from the wrap and cut into slices about 1-2 cm thick. You can sprinkle coconut on top for an elegant appearance and extra flavor.

Practical tips
- Storing the salami: Biscuit salami keeps very well in the refrigerator, in an airtight container. It can last up to a week, but it’s so delicious that it will disappear much faster!
- Variations: You can also add other ingredients, such as chopped dark chocolate, dried fruits, or even a bit of chili for a surprising taste.
- Quick dessert: This recipe is perfect for unexpected guests, being a quick and easy dessert to prepare.

Nutritional benefits
Biscuit salami is a source of energy due to the biscuits and sugar, but also of nutrients from nuts and raisins. Nuts are rich in essential fatty acids, while raisins provide fiber. This dessert is an excellent choice for a sweet snack, especially during fasting periods when alternatives are limited.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I use gluten-free biscuits? Absolutely! You can adapt the recipe using gluten-free biscuits, and the dessert will be just as delicious.
- What type of margarine should I choose? Choose a quality margarine, ideal for vegan recipes, without trans fats.
- How can I improve the texture? If you want a creamier texture, you can add a bit of nut cream or a plant-based yogurt to the mixture.

Serving and combinations
Biscuit salami pairs wonderfully with a cup of aromatic tea or coffee. You can serve it alongside a fruit sauce or a plant-based ice cream for a contrast of temperatures and flavors. Additionally, trying to pair it with a refreshing drink, such as a citrus juice, will provide a delightful culinary experience.

Biscuit salami is a heartfelt dessert that blends tradition with innovation.
