The history of this dessert is fascinating. Although the recipe has deep roots in culinary traditions, each family has developed its own style, adding seasonal ingredients or personal preferences. Thus, biscuit salami becomes a unique memory for each of us.

Ingredients:
- 450g Petit Beurre biscuits (or simple biscuits of your choice)
- 200g butter (preferably at room temperature)
- 300ml milk
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons high-quality cocoa powder
- 300g Turkish delight (of various flavors, according to preference)
- 150g nuts (ground or chopped)
- 150g figs (dried or fresh, diced)
- 120g raisins (washed and pre-soaked if necessary)
- 1/2 vial of vanilla essence
- 1 vial of rum essence

Step by step to a perfect dessert:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by breaking the biscuits into small pieces, but not too fine. Place them in a large bowl. If you have kids around, you can invite them to participate in this fun step. Add the diced Turkish delight, figs, and chopped nuts. The raisins can be added whole. Gently mix the ingredients to combine them evenly.

2. Preparing the wet mixture: In a saucepan, bring the milk to a boil. When it reaches boiling point, add the sugar and cocoa. Mix well to avoid lumps. It is important to use high-quality cocoa, as it will influence the final taste of the dessert.

3. Adding the butter: Once the mixture is homogenized, add the butter. Let it melt completely, stirring occasionally. Once melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

4. Combining the ingredients: Pour the wet mixture over the biscuits and mix gently. Use a spatula or a large spoon and fold the mixture to avoid crushing the biscuits. Add the vanilla and rum essences, which will give a delicious aroma to your dessert.

5. Shaping the rolls: Place a sheet of kitchen foil on the work surface. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into two round rolls. Wrap each roll in foil, ensuring it is tightly sealed to maintain its shape.

6. Cooling: Place the rolls in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, but it is preferable to leave them overnight. This cooling time will allow the flavors to blend and the mixture to firm up.

7. Serving: Once the dessert has cooled well, unwrap the foil and cut the rolls into thick slices of about 1-2 cm. You can serve them plain or with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Additionally, a cup of tea or coffee pairs perfectly with these delicious slices.

Practical tips:
- You can replace the nuts with hazelnuts or almonds, according to preference.
- If you want a less caloric dessert, you can reduce the amount of sugar or use natural sweeteners.
