Where to find ingredients

- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a glossy, consistent cream.
- 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 with the remaining brigadeiro cream, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the reserved crushed wafers over the surface for decoration.
