Coconut Milk Biscuit Salami - A Quick and Tasty Delight
Total Time: 1 hour (30 minutes preparation, 30 minutes cooling)
Number of Servings: 10-12 slices
This classic dessert, often found in kitchens around the world, has been reinterpreted with aromatic and exotic ingredients, such as coconut milk. Biscuit salami is not only a quick option but also a delicious choice for any occasion, whether it's a party, a gathering with friends, or simply a quiet evening at home. Let's start the culinary adventure!
Ingredients:
- 350 g biscuits (I recommend Petit Beurre biscuits)
- 1 can of coconut milk (250 ml)
- 125 g butter
- 80 g sugar (preferably powdered sugar with vanilla flavor)
- 45 g cooking chocolate
- 200 g candied fruits (preferably diced, from Lidl Belbake)
- 2 teaspoons cocoa
Preparing the Biscuit Salami:
1. Preparing the chocolate mixture:
Start by placing a non-stick saucepan over low heat. Add the coconut milk, butter, sugar, cooking chocolate, and cocoa. Stir constantly with a spatula or wooden spoon to prevent sticking. It’s important not to boil the mixture; just melt the ingredients until you achieve a smooth liquid. Once everything is melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
2. Preparing the biscuits:
While the mixture cools, break the biscuits into large pieces (do not crush them!). This will give the salami a pleasant and crunchy texture. You can use different types of biscuits, but Petit Beurre ones are ideal due to their fine taste.
3. Adding the candied fruits:
Once the chocolate mixture has cooled slightly, add the broken biscuits and candied fruits. Mix everything carefully until each piece of biscuit is coated with the chocolate mixture. Here you can play with the ingredients, replacing candied fruits with diced Turkish delight for a different version.
4. Forming the salami:
Cover a loaf pan with plastic wrap, making sure it extends over the edges of the pan. Pour the biscuit and chocolate mixture into the pan, leveling it with a spatula. You can press down slightly to compact it, so it holds together well after cooling.
5. Cooling:
Place the pan in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the biscuit salami is well set. Once cooled, remove it from the pan and take off the plastic wrap.
6. Serving:
Cut the biscuit salami into thick slices and serve it on a nice platter. You can sprinkle cocoa or powdered sugar on top for an elegant touch. This dessert pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea, but it’s also delicious alongside a glass of milk or a refreshing drink.
Practical Tips:
- If you want to make the dessert healthier, you can replace the butter with another type of healthy fat, such as coconut oil.
- Experiment with different types of biscuits to achieve various flavors. Cocoa biscuits or those with oats can add an interesting note.
- If you enjoy exotic flavors, add a bit of vanilla extract or cinnamon to the chocolate mixture.
Nutritional Information:
A serving of biscuit salami contains approximately 250-300 calories, depending on the ingredients used. It provides carbohydrates from the biscuits, healthy fats from the coconut milk and butter, as well as fiber from the candied fruits. It’s a good choice to satisfy your sweet cravings in a tasty way.
