Ingredients
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1 jar of peanut butter
1 pack (200 g) of cornstarch cookies
1 tablespoon of margarine
1 jar of peanut butter
1 pack (200 g) of cornstarch cookies
1 tablespoon of margarine
Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients at local grocery stores. Look for the cornstarch cookies in the biscuit aisle and peanut butter among spreads. If you cannot find specific cornstarch biscuits, a plain, mild-flavored shortbread cookie makes an excellent substitute to maintain the original texture.
Preparation method
- Process the cornstarch cookies in a blender until they reach a fine, sandy texture.
- In a stand mixer, combine the condensed milk and margarine. Beat until the mixture is completely uniform.
- Gradually add the peanut butter to the mixture, continuing to beat until fully incorporated.
- Remove the mixture from the mixer and transfer it into a large mixing bowl.
- Slowly fold in the crushed cookie crumbs. Mix and knead by hand until all ingredients are well combined and the dough becomes pliable.
- Press the mixture firmly into a glass baking dish or container.
- Place in the refrigerator and let it chill overnight, or for at least 8 hours, until it sets completely.
- Cut into small squares before serving.
