History
The Chocolate Biscuit Roll (also known as Salame de Chocolate, Keksa Torta, or Cold Biscuit Log) has European origins, particularly from Portugal, Italy, and Eastern Europe. It gained popularity in the mid-20th century when housewives and bakers created quick, no-bake desserts using pantry staples like biscuits, cocoa, and butter.
The recipe later spread across the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia, where it became a popular homemade treat — especially during Eid, Christmas, and other family gatherings.
