Where to find ingredients
Peanuts, condensed milk, and chocolate drink mix powder are widely available in most supermarkets in the baking or snack aisles. Cornstarch biscuits are also common in the cookie or biscuit section. For a more authentic experience or if you can't find plain roasted peanuts, specialty Latin or Brazilian food stores are your best bet.
Preparation method
- Toast the peanuts in a preheated oven or in a skillet until lightly golden and fragrant
- Avoid over-toasting to prevent bitterness
- Let the peanuts cool completely after toasting
- In a food processor, add the cornstarch biscuits and the toasted peanuts
- Process everything until a fine and homogeneous crumb is obtained
- Transfer the peanut and biscuit mixture to a bowl
- Add the chocolate drink mix powder and mix well
- Gradually incorporate the condensed milk, mixing until the dough becomes consistent and moldable
- Spread the dough evenly in a small, shallow pan
- Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up before cutting
- Cut into small squares or use cookie cutters to shape the paçoca
- Serve and enjoy!
