Total preparation time: 1 hour
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooling time: 30 minutes
Number of servings: 12

Necessary ingredients:
- 400 g biscuits (I recommend Petit Beurre biscuits for a crunchy texture and a sweet-sour taste)
- 400 g Turkish delight (choose colorful Turkish delight for an attractive look)
- 250 g nuts (pecans or Romanian walnuts are ideal, but you can also use hazelnuts)
- 50 g raisins (for an extra sweetness)
- 25 ml rum essence (optional, but recommended for an aromatic flavor)
- 200 ml water
- 40 g cocoa (good quality cocoa makes a difference)
- 1 sachet of vanilla sugar (for a special aroma)
- a pinch of salt (to balance the flavors)
- a splash of lemon juice (to add a pleasant contrast)

Step-by-step preparation:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by crushing the biscuits into small pieces, but not so fine that they turn into powder. You can use a food processor or place the biscuits in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin. This step will add texture to your salami.

2. Chopping the nuts: Chop the nuts. If you want a finer texture, you can grind them a little, but don’t overdo it; you want to feel the crunch in every bite.

3. Preparing the Turkish delight: Cut the Turkish delight into small cubes, so it will be easy to integrate into the mixture. If you prefer, you can use flavored Turkish delight (for example, rose-flavored) to add a touch of originality.

4. Boiling the syrup: In a saucepan, add the water, vanilla sugar, and cocoa. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar and cocoa dissolve completely. Once the mixture starts to boil, you can add the rum essence and a splash of lemon juice. Let it boil for 2-3 minutes, then remove the saucepan from the heat.

5. Mixing the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the crushed biscuits, nuts, Turkish delight, and raisins. Pour the hot cocoa mixture over the solid ingredients and mix well with a spatula or your hands. Make sure all the ingredients are evenly coated with the cocoa syrup.

6. Shaping the salami: Take the mixture and wrap it in plastic wrap, shaping it into a roll. Squeeze the ends of the wrap tightly to prevent air from entering and to maintain the shape.

7. Cooling: Place the biscuit salami in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes; ideally, you should leave it for a few hours or even overnight. This step is essential to allow it to harden and stabilize.

8. Serving: After it has cooled, unwrap the plastic and cut the biscuit salami into thick slices. You can decorate it with a little cocoa powder or ground nuts on top for a more attractive appearance.

Useful tips:
- You can add other ingredients depending on your preferences, such as coconut flakes or melted chocolate for a more intense flavor.
- If you want to make a chocolate biscuit salami, you can replace some of the cocoa with melted chocolate.
- It is an ideal dessert to prepare with children; they will love participating in shaping the salamis!

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use other types of biscuits?
Yes, you can experiment with digestive biscuits, cocoa biscuits, or even gluten-free biscuits.

- How can I store the biscuit salami?
It keeps well in the refrigerator, covered in plastic wrap, for about a week.

- Is this dessert suitable for vegans?
If you replace the Turkish delight with one without gelatin and use vegan chocolate, you can adapt the recipe to be vegan.

Delicious combinations:
Biscuit salami is wonderful served alongside a cup of coffee or tea, but you can also pair it with ice cream or whipped cream. Additionally, a glass of sweet wine or an aromatic liqueur could perfectly complement the dessert.
