Dessert - Cookie salami, recipe with candied fruits by Florina P. - Recipia

I have made this cookie salami recipe with candied fruits many times, especially when I need a quick, no-bake dessert that is easy to portion. I have never had issues with the texture or taste, and each time I find something to add or remove depending on what I have in the cupboard. I combine large broken cookies with the candied fruits, and the rest comes naturally. Quick Info Total Time: 30-40 minutes, plus cooling (minimum 2 hours in the fridge) Preparation Time: 20-25 minutes Cooking Time: 5-10 minutes (for syrup) Servings: about 10 large slices Difficulty: easy Recipe Type: quick no-bake dessert Ingredients 500 g plain cookies 10 tablespoons sugar 150-200 g butter 250-300 ml water 2-3 tablespoons cocoa Rum essence (Dr.Oetker or any preferred brand) 100 g candied fruits Coconut (for sprinkling on the outside) Plastic wrap Preparation Method 1. Break the cookies by hand into suitable pieces, neither too small nor too large. I usually put them in a large bowl. 2. In a medium saucepan, bring the water, sugar, and butter to a boil. Stir until the butter melts and the sugar is completely dissolved. Let it boil briefly. 3. After it boils, turn off the heat and add the cocoa. Mix well to avoid lumps. 4. Pour the hot syrup over the broken cookies. Mix immediately using a spatula or spoon to prevent the cookies from getting too soft on one side. 5. Add the candied fruits, mix again, then add the rum essence. The mixture should be sticky and hold together. 6. On a work surface, lay out plastic wrap. Sprinkle a little coconut on the wrap to prevent sticking and for appearance. 7. Place half of the mixture on the wrap, shape it into a compact roll, then sprinkle a little more coconut on top. Roll tightly and seal the edges of the wrap well. 8. Repeat with the other half of the mixture. 9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up. Cut into slices after it has completely cooled. Why I make the recipe often It is quick to prepare and does not require an oven. I can use what I have at home; it is adaptable. It lasts a few days in the fridge, and the texture remains good even after sitting. It is suitable when I need to prepare something for guests or for a trip. Tips and Variations Tips - Do not crush the cookies too finely, or the texture will be too dense. - Use a sturdy plastic wrap so you can tightly seal the roll. - If the mixture seems too soft, you can add a few more crushed cookies. Substitutions - Butter can be replaced with margarine, although the taste will be slightly different. - Candied fruits can be replaced with raisins, nuts, Turkish delight, or combinations of them. - Coconut is not mandatory, but it helps prevent sticking on the outside. Variations - You can add pieces of walnuts or hazelnuts for a crunchy texture. - Some prefer to add more rum essence for a stronger flavor. - If you don't have cocoa, you can try a little melted chocolate, but the recipe will change. Serving Ideas - Cut into thick or thin slices, according to preference. - Goes well with coffee or tea, or as a snack on the go. - Looks great on holiday platters. Frequently Asked Questions Can I use a different type of cookie? You can use any plain cookies (popular, Petit Beurre), but not digestive cookies or cookies with cream. What if I find the mixture too soft? Add a few more crushed cookies and mix until it holds together. What can I substitute for rum essence? If you don't want a rum flavor, you can try vanilla or orange, but the taste will be different. How thick should the slices be? It depends on preference, but the easiest way is to cut slices about 1-2 cm thick. Can I only use candied fruits or can I combine them with other ingredients? The mixture is flexible; you can use only candied fruits, only raisins, or combinations with Turkish delight, nuts, according to taste. Nutritional Values Estimate for one slice (out of 10 servings): approximately 250-300 kcal, 35-40 g carbohydrates, 10-12 g fats, 2-3 g proteins. Values may vary depending on the type of cookies, the exact amount of butter, and fruits used. It is a fairly filling dessert, with a high intake of carbohydrates and fats. Storage and Reheating The cookie salami keeps very well in the fridge, wrapped in plastic wrap or in a container with a lid, for 3-4 days. It is not reheated; it is served cold or at room temperature. If cut earlier than 2 hours, it may not be fully set.
