Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local supermarkets or neighborhood shops. Look for condensed milk and cocoa powder in the baking aisle. For the wafers, check the snack or biscuit section. If specific Brazilian brands aren't available, standard chocolate-filled wafers are excellent substitutes.
Preparation method
- Break the wafer cookies 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 wafers for the final garnish.
- In a saucepan, combine the condensed milk, milk, cocoa powder, margarine, and the cornstarch which should be dissolved in a splash of milk.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a glossy, consistent cream.
- Remove from the heat and allow the brigadeiro mixture to cool down slightly.
- Spread one-half of the brigadeiro cream over the wafer base in the pan.
- Slice the bananas into thin strips and distribute them evenly over the first layer of brigadeiro.
- Cover with the remaining brigadeiro mixture and smooth the surface with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the reserved wafer pieces over the top to garnish.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Serve the tart cold, cut into slices, and enjoy the irresistible contrast of flavors and textures.
