Introduction:
Biscuit salami is a dessert that evokes childhood memories, with its intense cocoa flavors and the sweetness of honey. This simple recipe is quick to prepare and requires no baking, making it perfect for times when you want to bring a touch of joy to everyday life. It is an excellent choice for parties, birthdays, or simply to indulge with family. Let’s embark together on preparing this quick dessert!

Ingredients:
- 800 grams of Petit Beurre biscuits (or any other preferred type)
- 6 heaping tablespoons of cocoa
- 6 tablespoons of sugar
- 4 tablespoons of honey
- 450 ml of milk (or more, depending on the biscuits)
- 4 tablespoons of Nutella
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- Rum essence (to taste)
- Plastic wrap (for wrapping)

Preparation:

1. Crushing the Biscuits:
Start by crushing the biscuits. You can use a food processor to achieve a fine texture, but I recommend leaving a few larger pieces for a pleasant textural contrast. This will add a crunchy element in each slice of salami.

2. Mixing the Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, add the crushed biscuits, sugar, cocoa, and honey. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.

3. Preparing the Milk Mixture:
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until just before boiling. Add the butter and Nutella, stirring constantly to achieve a smooth mixture. Do not let the milk boil, as this can affect the final texture of the biscuit salami.

4. The Final Combination:
Once the milk mixture has cooled slightly, pour it over the biscuit mixture. Add the rum essence to taste. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated. If you notice that the mixture is too dry, you can add a little extra milk.

5. Forming the Salami:
Place the obtained mixture on a piece of plastic wrap or a transparent bag. Wrap it tightly, forming a roll. Make sure it is tight, but do not overdo it, so as not to ruin the shape. You can roll one side simply, while covering the other side with almond flakes for a more elegant appearance and crunchy texture.

6. Cooling:
Place the roll in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. If you are short on time, you can put it in the freezer for a few hours.

7. Serving:
When sufficiently chilled, cut the biscuit salami into thick slices of about 1-2 cm. You can serve it plain or with a dollop of whipped cream on top for a creamy contrast. It can also be accompanied by a fragrant tea or good coffee to highlight the sweetness of this dessert.

Practical Tips:
- Choose quality biscuits: Petit Beurre biscuits work best due to their slightly crunchy texture and delicate flavor. You can experiment with whole grain biscuits for a healthier option.
- Nutrition: This dessert contains carbohydrates from biscuits and sugar, but also protein from milk and healthy fats from butter. It is best to consume it in moderation, but it provides a quick energy boost due to the sugars.
- Variations: You can add chopped nuts or dried fruits for an extra flavor note. Also, for a gluten-free option, look for specific biscuits for this diet.

Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Can I use another type of chocolate?
Yes, you can use dark or white chocolate instead of Nutella, but make sure to adjust the amount of sugar according to the desired sweetness.

2. How can I store biscuit salami?
It stores well in the refrigerator, covered, for up to a week. You can also freeze it for a longer period, well wrapped.

3. Is it suitable for vegans?
You can adapt the recipe using plant-based milk and vegan butter. Make sure to choose biscuits without animal-derived ingredients.

Conclusion:
This biscuit salami recipe is not only a great opportunity to bring a touch of joy to your life but also a way to share sweet moments with loved ones. With a pleasant texture and rich flavor, it will surely become a family favorite. Try it and let your imagination soar regarding variations and presentation!
