Step 1
First, let's boil the condensed milk. Pour water into a pot and place the can in it so that the water completely covers the can. Simmer over low heat for 3-4 hours until cooked. The longer you cook it, the darker and thicker the condensed milk will become. You can also use pre-boiled condensed milk.

Step 2
Now it's time to work with the nuts. I had unshelled walnuts. First, I cracked them, sorted through them, and then chopped them. You can use a knife or a mortar for this. There's no need to chop them too finely.

Step 3
Place a pack of butter into a bowl. Wait for it to melt. Then take out the condensed milk, open it, and pour it into the butter. Beat the butter and condensed milk thoroughly with a whisk or blender.

Step 4
Take the cookies. If they are in a bag, you can crumble them right there without removing them. Alternatively, transfer the cookies to a bowl and crush them with a pestle. Do not crumble too finely. Mix the cookies with the whipped mixture of butter and condensed milk. Add the chopped nuts. Mix thoroughly.

Step 5
Place the resulting mixture onto a plate, shaping it into a mound resembling an anthill. You can sprinkle the top with crushed nuts, as I did, or use poppy seeds, or even grate some chocolate over it. Refrigerate overnight so the cake can soak and set. This turned out to be a very delicious treat!
