Where to find ingredients
Find these items in the baking and dairy aisles of local supermarkets. For the chocolate wafers, look for crisp chocolate-covered biscuits; if unavailable, plain chocolate-coated wafer cookies serve as an excellent substitute.
Preparation method
- Break the chocolate wafers into small pieces and arrange them in an even layer at the bottom of a medium-sized pan.
- Set aside a small portion of the crushed wafers for the final decoration.
- In a saucepan, whisk together the condensed milk, whole milk, cocoa powder, margarine, and the cornstarch (dissolved in a splash of milk).
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a glossy, consistent cream.
- Allow the brigadeiro mixture to cool down slightly.
- Spread half of the prepared brigadeiro over the wafer layer in the pan.
- Slice the bananas into thin strips and arrange them evenly over the brigadeiro layer.
- Pour the remaining brigadeiro over the bananas, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the reserved wafer pieces over the top to garnish.
- Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Serve chilled, sliced into portions, and enjoy this irresistible blend of flavors and textures.
