Who doesn’t remember the simple and tasty sweets of childhood? Biscuit salami is a classic recipe that takes us back to beautiful moments spent with loved ones. This dessert is not only easy to prepare but also brings a touch of nostalgia in every bite. Let’s embark on the adventure of making this quick and delicious dessert!
Necessary ingredients:
- 1200 g biscuits (preferably cocoa biscuits)
- 1 liter milk
- 250 g margarine for baking
- 400 g Turkish delight (flavored, preferably with blackberries or oranges)
- 250 g walnuts (ground)
- 100 g raisins (you can also use cranberries for a tart taste)
- 5 tablespoons cocoa
- 7 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
- Vanilla and rum (to taste)
- Cinnamon (optional)
Step by step:
1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by grinding the walnuts, but do not turn them into powder; we want to keep some larger pieces for texture. If you are using raisins, you can hydrate them in a little warm milk to make them fluffier.
2. Melting the margarine: In a saucepan, melt the margarine over low heat, being careful not to let it boil. Add the milk, sugar, cocoa, vanilla, and rum. Mix well until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture becomes homogeneous.
3. Adding the biscuits: In a large bowl, crumble the biscuits into small pieces, about the size of a bite. These will be the base of our wonderful salami. You can choose cocoa biscuits for a more intense flavor.
4. Combining the ingredients: Pour the warm milk mixture over the biscuits and mix well. Add the walnuts, raisins (or cranberries), and diced Turkish delight. Stir everything with a spatula until the ingredients are well integrated.
5. Forming the salami: Lay out a sheet of plastic wrap on a countertop and pour the mixture onto it. Twist the wrap to form a cylinder and tightly secure the ends. Make sure it is tight to avoid leaks during cooling.
6. Cooling: Place the salamis in a container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until they are well hardened. This step is crucial, so don’t skip it!
7. Serving: Once the salami has hardened, remove it from the wrap and cut it into slices. You can dust it with powdered sugar or cocoa for an elegant look. Serve it alongside a cup of warm milk or a cup of aromatic coffee.
Useful tips:
- Variations: You can experiment with different types of biscuits, such as those with nuts or chocolate, to achieve varied flavors.
- Ingredients: Make sure the Turkish delight is of good quality, as it plays an important role in the final taste of the dessert.
- Storage: Biscuit salami keeps well in the fridge for a few days, making it perfect for preparing in advance for visits or parties.
This biscuit salami will not only remind you of childhood but will also bring a touch of joy to your table, being a simple yet personality-filled dessert. Enjoy!
