Who doesn’t love a quick and tasty dessert? Coconut Biscuit Salami is the perfect choice for a sweet snack, a party, or simply to indulge after a long day. This recipe, inspired by Amalia, combines the crunchy texture of biscuits with the creamy sweetness of coconut, offering an explosion of flavors that will delight any sweet tooth.

Necessary ingredients:
- 500 g biscuits (choose simple biscuits like petit beurre or cocoa biscuits)
- 250 g butter (or margarine, if you prefer a vegan option)
- 150 ml water
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 100 g powdered sugar
- 4-5 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 150 g coconut
- 1-2 tablespoons rum essence (for a flavorful and elegant taste)

Step 1: Preparing the biscuits
Start by crushing the biscuits. You can do this by placing them in a plastic bag and hitting them with a rolling pin or processing them in a food processor. It’s important that the biscuits are crushed but not completely turned into powder; a slightly grainy texture will add extra flavor.

Step 2: Preparing the syrup
In a saucepan, combine the water with the granulated sugar and bring to a boil. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Once the syrup starts to boil, add the butter (or margarine) and mix well until it melts. If you want a more aromatic dessert, add the rum essence at this point.

Step 3: Mixing the ingredients
Pour the warm syrup over the crushed biscuits and mix well to evenly coat each piece. Add cocoa powder and stir until the mixture becomes homogeneous.

Step 4: Coconut cream
In a separate bowl, combine the coconut with the softened butter (or margarine) and the powdered sugar. Mix until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous cream. Here, you can also add a few drops of rum essence to enhance the flavor.

Step 5: Assembling the salami
Lay out a plastic wrap on a flat surface. Spread an even layer of the biscuit mixture, then add a layer of coconut cream. Carefully roll it up using the wrap to form a tight cylinder. Make sure the roll is well wrapped.

Step 6: Cooling
Once you have formed the salamis, place them in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours until they firm up. This step is essential for achieving a perfect cut and an appealing look.

Step 7: Serving
After the salami has cooled and firmed up, remove it from the wrap and cut it into slices about 1-2 cm thick. You can decorate it with extra coconut or cocoa for a more attractive appearance.

Personal suggestion: For a more sophisticated version, you can replace some of the coconut with ground hazelnuts or add chocolate chips to the biscuit mixture. This way, you get a chocolate biscuit salami, perfect for sweet lovers!

This coconut biscuit salami recipe is not only easy to make but also extremely versatile. You can experiment with different types of biscuits or fillings, adapting the dessert to your preferences. Try it and enjoy a dessert that will bring smiles to the faces of your loved ones!
