Directions
- 1
Break the cookies into small irregular chunks using a knife or by crushing them inside a zip-lock bag. Set aside.
- 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the condensed milk, butter, and cocoa powder. Stir constantly to prevent sticking.
- 3
Cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens and starts pulling away from the sides of the pan, about 8–10 minutes.
- 4
Remove from heat and immediately fold in the crushed cookies, mixing until a uniform dough forms.
- 5
Lightly butter a flat surface or line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the mixture out and press it flat with your palms to about ½ inch (1.5 cm) thick.
- 6
Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then slice into small squares and serve.
💡 Chef's Tip
Roll the squares in cocoa powder or powdered sugar for a prettier finish. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
