When it comes to desserts, few are as beloved and nostalgic as biscuit salami. This simple yet delicious dessert is perfect for fasting days, but not only. It’s quick to prepare, giving you the chance to enjoy an authentic and comforting taste, even in moments when you crave something sweet without animal-derived ingredients.

Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooling time: 2 hours
Total time: 2 hours and 20 minutes
Servings: 10-12

Ingredients

- 800 g plain biscuits (choose simple biscuits without filling)
- 400 g diced Turkish delight (make sure it is of good quality)
- 100 g raisins (you can also use other dried fruits if you prefer)
- 1 pack of margarine (about 250 g)
- 6-8 tablespoons of cocoa (choose good quality cocoa for an intense flavor)
- 6 tablespoons of sugar (you can adjust the amount to taste)
- 2 bottles of rum essence (or vanilla, for a different aroma)
- 200 ml water

Steps for Preparation

1. Boiling the Wet Ingredients
Start by adding the water, sugar, raisins, and cocoa to a pot. Place the pot over low heat and stir constantly until the mixture starts to boil. At this point, add the diced Turkish delight. Let it boil together with the other ingredients for 2-3 boils, so that the Turkish delight partially melts, releasing its aroma.

2. Melting the Margarine
Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Then, add the margarine and mix well until it completely melts. It’s essential not to rush this stage, as the melted margarine will help bind the biscuits.

3. Preparing the Biscuits
In a large bowl, break the biscuits into large pieces using your hands or a rolling pin. Don’t crush them too finely, as the crunchy texture of the biscuits will add a pleasant contrast to your biscuit salami.

4. Combining the Ingredients
Add the Turkish delight and margarine mixture over the biscuits. Mix vigorously, ensuring that each piece of biscuit is well coated with the sauce. If you feel the mixture is too dry and not binding, you can add a tablespoon of sugar syrup or cocoa, but be careful not to make it too gelatinous; many prefer a drier texture to better taste the biscuits.

5. Shaping the Salamis
On a sheet of plastic wrap, sprinkle a generous layer of coconut. Then, shape the biscuit mixture into rolls with your hands, making sure to achieve the desired thickness. Roll each log in the coconut, coating it completely.

6. Cooling and Serving
Wrap each log in plastic wrap, ensuring it is well sealed. Let them cool in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. After they have set, remove them from the wrap and cut them into thick slices for serving.

Practical Tips

- Choosing the Biscuits: Plain biscuits are the best choice for this recipe, but you can experiment with digestive biscuits or even cocoa biscuits for a more intense flavor.
- Ideal Texture: If you prefer a moister salami, add more margarine and sugar syrup, but don’t overdo it. The goal is to achieve a balance between moisture and the crunchy texture of the biscuits.
- Variations: You can add ground nuts, hazelnuts, or even chocolate chips for an extra burst of flavor. You can also replace the raisins with other dried fruits, such as apricots or cranberries.
- Serving: Biscuit salami pairs perfectly with a cup of hot tea or coffee, but it can also be a delight alongside vanilla ice cream for a temperature contrast.
