Where to find ingredients
You can find sweetened condensed milk and cocoa powder in the baking aisle of local supermarkets like Shop N Save or RB Patel. Fresh Cavendish bananas are available in the produce section. If chocolate-covered wafers are unavailable, standard vanilla wafers or plain tea biscuits make for a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Crush the wafers into small pieces and arrange them in an even layer at the bottom of a medium-sized pan.
- Reserve a small portion of the wafers to use as a garnish later.
- In a saucepan, combine the condensed milk, whole milk, cocoa powder, margarine, and the cornstarch (pre-dissolved in a splash of milk).
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a glossy, consistent cream.
- Allow the brigadeiro cream to cool slightly.
- Spread half of the prepared brigadeiro mixture over the wafer base.
- Slice the bananas into thin strips and arrange them evenly over the brigadeiro layer.
- Cover the banana layer with the remaining brigadeiro, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the reserved wafer pieces over the top for decoration.
- Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Slice while cold and enjoy this irresistible combination of flavors and textures.
