Dessert - Chocolate biscuit salam, recipe by Antonia C. - Recipia

In our family, chocolate biscuit salami always appears when we have leftover biscuits and don't feel like using the oven. I've tried this recipe many times, especially when we want something quick for guests or to have a snack in the fridge. The Turkish delight gives it a unique taste, and the coconut added at the end slightly changes the texture. Everything is mixed in one bowl, without any hassle. Quick Info Total time: about 1 hour (plus cooling time) Preparation time: 20-30 minutes Cooling time: at least 2 hours (ideally overnight) Servings: 12-16 slices Difficulty: easy Recipe type: classic no-bake dessert Ingredients 1 kg plain biscuits 750 ml milk 1 dark chocolate bar 1 package of butter or margarine (200 g) 150 g Turkish delight (of your choice) 200 g sugar (can be adjusted to taste) 3 tablespoons cocoa powder 1 vial of rum essence coconut (for finishing, optional) Preparation method 1. Break the biscuits into small pieces by hand. I prefer uneven sizes so they look nice in section and provide a more interesting texture. Place them in a large bowl. 2. Cut the Turkish delight into small cubes and add it over the biscuits. 3. In a large pot, combine the milk, butter or margarine, broken chocolate, sugar, and cocoa powder. Place over low heat. Stir constantly until the chocolate and butter melt and the mixture becomes homogeneous. Remove from heat and let it cool for 2-3 minutes until it’s not too hot. 4. Pour the rum essence into the liquid mixture and stir well. 5. Gradually pour the liquid mixture over the biscuits with Turkish delight. Mix with a large spoon or with your hands (easiest with gloves). Add the liquid in several batches to avoid making it too soft. The biscuits should soak but not completely fall apart. 6. Prepare two large sheets of cling film or baking paper, sprinkle coconut on top. Place the mixture in the center and shape it into a log. Roll tightly and twist the ends. 7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight. Once firm, it can be sliced. Why I make this recipe often Because it’s a quick, no-bake dessert made from readily available ingredients. It doesn’t require complicated techniques and turns out well every time. It can be prepared in advance and lasts a few days in the fridge, which is practical. Tips and variations Tips Don’t pour all the liquid at once, or the biscuits may become too soggy. Mix as evenly as possible so that each piece gets a bit of Turkish delight and chocolate. If you want to slice it nicely, use a knife quickly dipped in hot water. Substitutions Butter can be replaced with margarine if you don’t have it or for a vegan version. Dark chocolate can be substituted with milk chocolate, but it will be sweeter. Turkish delight can be omitted or replaced with dried fruits (raisins, cranberries), but the taste will be different. Coconut on the outside is optional; powdered sugar can also be used. Variations You can add chopped nuts or hazelnuts for texture. If you like orange flavor, a vial of essence can be added along with the rum essence. They can also be shaped into balls for individual servings. Serving ideas The slices of biscuit salami can be rolled in coconut or powdered sugar just before serving. It pairs well with coffee or a glass of cold milk. It is stored in the fridge and served cold, directly from the cling film or placed on a plate. Frequently asked questions Can I use digestive biscuits or another type of biscuits? Yes, but the texture will be different. Plain biscuits are drier and absorb the liquid better. How long does it last in the fridge? It lasts well for 3-4 days, well wrapped in cling film or baking paper. Is Turkish delight mandatory? No, but it adds a specific note to this dessert. If you don’t like it, you can omit it or replace it with raisins. How do I cut it easily without crumbling? The easiest way is with a long, thin knife dipped in hot water and quickly wiped between cuts. Can I freeze biscuit salami? I do not recommend it. The texture of the biscuits changes upon thawing and becomes a bit gummy. Nutritional values Estimated values for one slice (out of 16 slices): Calories: approx. 240 kcal Carbohydrates: 35 g Protein: 3 g Fats: 10 g These values may vary depending on the biscuits, type of chocolate, and amount of butter used. It is a calorie-dense dessert, based on biscuits, chocolate, and sugar. Storage and reheating It stores well in the fridge, tightly wrapped in cling film or baking paper. It does not need reheating, and it slices better when cold. If it lasts more than 4 days, it starts to gain moisture and soften, so it’s best consumed in the first few days.
