Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients:

  • 1 (11-ounce) box vanilla wafers
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans*

Instructions

  1. Crush vanilla wafers well. I prefer to use a food processor here.
  2. In a large bowl, combine crushed wafers, condensed milk, and pecans. Mix well to combine. This takes some work. I usually start with a big wooden spoon, but then use my hands.
  3. Divide the mixture evenly and press to form into two logs. Wrap each in wax paper and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up.
  4. Slice and serve chilled.
