Chocolate Biscuit Salami
Quick Recipes Simple Recipes Desserts Recipes for Kids
Chocolate Biscuit Salami... one of the tastes of childhood. A recipe that transformed any pre-1989 biscuit hard enough to crack nuts into the ultimate dessert of those times (even though the cocoa wasn't what it is today). Does anyone still remember the "Voinicel" biscuits? 😊
Not a week went by without a chocolate biscuit salami. We were students and mom had to put something sweet in our school lunchbox, and the biscuit salami was always welcome and beloved by us and our classmates with whom we shared everything. The truth is that the biscuit salami recipe is cheap, simple, and brings back pleasant memories...
Ingredients
250g plain biscuits
250g sugar
100g butter
50g cocoa powder + extra cocoa (or chocolate powder) for rolling
75g toasted walnuts (or raisins soaked in warm water, or 2 teaspoons instant coffee)
120ml milk
rum extract (or rum)
Servings: 12
How to prepare chocolate biscuit salami
- Crush the biscuits by hand until you get small pieces. Mix with the chopped walnuts (or raisins) if using.
- In a small saucepan, add 60ml milk and the sugar, and boil until it becomes a thick syrup (about 1 minute after the syrup starts to foam).
- Add the butter and stir until melted.
- Add the cocoa powder (and coffee if using) dissolved in 60ml milk. Add the rum extract as well. Let it come to a boil.
- Gradually pour the syrup over the biscuits, stirring occasionally until you see the biscuits bind together and soften a bit. You may not need all the syrup.
- On a sheet of plastic wrap, sprinkle some cocoa (or chocolate powder) and place half of the mixture. Roll tightly into a log shape and push from both ends to remove air from the salami. Tie tightly at both ends and refrigerate the biscuit salami for a few hours or overnight. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Slice the biscuit salami and serve.
