Where to find ingredients
You can find condensed milk and margarine at any local grocery store or supermarket in the baking or dairy aisles. Peanut butter and digestive biscuits are widely available in the snack or international food sections of major retailers.
Preparation method
- Pulse the digestive biscuits in a blender or food processor until they reach a fine, sandy consistency.
- In a mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine the condensed milk and margarine, beating until the texture is smooth and well-combined.
- Gradually incorporate the peanut butter into the mixture, continuing to beat until fully integrated.
- Remove the mixture from the mixer and transfer it into a large bowl.
- Add the biscuit crumbs in small portions to the mixture, kneading by hand until all ingredients are combined and the dough is pliable and holds its shape.
- Transfer the mixture into a shallow rectangular baking dish or glass tray, pressing it down firmly to level the surface.
- Place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 8 hours, or ideally overnight, to ensure it sets perfectly.
- Once firm, slice the pacoquinha into neat squares before serving.
