Where to find ingredients
Simple cookies (like shortbread or vanilla wafers) and chocolate drink mix powder are widely available in the cookie and baking aisles of most supermarkets. Roasted, skinless peanuts can be found in the snack or bulk bin sections of supermarkets, or in the nuts and seeds aisle. Condensed milk is a standard dairy product found in the canned goods or baking aisles. For a more authentic experience, look for specialty Brazilian or Latin American food stores, which will likely carry these ingredients, often with a wider selection of peanut types and traditional cookie options.
Preparation method
- Toast the peanuts in a preheated oven or in a frying pan until lightly golden and aromatic
- Avoid over-toasting to prevent bitterness
- Let the peanuts cool completely after toasting
- In a food processor, add the simple cookies and the toasted peanuts
- Process everything until a fine and homogeneous crumb is obtained
- Transfer the peanut and cookie mixture to a bowl
- Add the chocolate drink mix powder and mix well
- Gradually incorporate the condensed milk, mixing until the dough is 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!
