Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local supermarkets or grocery stores. Look for condensed milk and chocolate powder in the baking aisle, and find fresh bananas in the produce section. If you cannot find nanica bananas, any sweet, firm, ripe banana variety will serve as a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Break the wafers into small pieces and arrange them in an even layer at the bottom of a medium tart pan.
- Set aside a small portion of the wafers to use as a garnish later.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the condensed milk, milk, cocoa powder, margarine, and cornstarch (pre-dissolved in a splash of milk).
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a glossy, smooth cream.
- Remove from the heat and allow the brigadeiro mixture to cool slightly.
- Spread half of the brigadeiro cream over the wafer base in the pan.
- 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 a decorative finish.
- Place the tart in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set before serving.
- Serve the tart chilled, sliced into portions, and enjoy this irresistible combination of textures and flavors.
