Ingredients

- 250 g plain biscuits (choose unfilled biscuits for the ideal texture)
- 350 ml condensed milk (make sure it's high quality for a rich taste)
- 50 g butter (melted, plus a little for greasing)
- 20 g dark cocoa powder (quality cocoa will enhance the flavors)
- 100 g nuts (you can use pecans or hazelnuts instead of regular walnuts)
- 2 bananas (medium size is ideal, not too ripe, to avoid breaking during rolling)
- Colorful sprinkles for decoration (choose your favorites)

Instructions

1. Prepare the ingredients: Start by grinding the biscuits and nuts. You can use a food processor or a plastic bag and a rolling pin to crush them. You want a fine texture, but not completely powdered. In a large bowl, mix the ground biscuits with cocoa powder.

2. Add the wet ingredients: In another bowl, melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Pour the condensed milk over the crushed biscuits and cocoa, then add the melted butter. Mix well with a spatula until you achieve a smooth mixture.

3. Prepare the rolling surface: Place a sheet of aluminum foil on a flat surface and grease it with a little butter. This step will help in removing the roll after it cools.

4. Spread the mixture: Using the spatula, evenly spread the biscuit mixture onto the foil, forming a rectangle about 1 cm thick. Make sure the edges are well covered.

5. Add the bananas: Slice the bananas in half lengthwise and place them in the center of the biscuit mixture. They will add a sweet taste and a soft texture, contrasting with the crunchy biscuits.

6. Rolling: Using the aluminum foil, start rolling the mixture, being careful not to break the bananas. Roll carefully, gently pressing to form a tight roll.

7. Cooling: Once rolled, fold the edges of the aluminum foil to seal the roll. Place the roll in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until it is well set.

8. Glaze: When the roll is ready, you can prepare a simple glaze from melted chocolate or use pre-made chocolate. Pour the glaze evenly over the roll and sprinkle colorful sprinkles for a festive look.

9. Serving: Cut the roll into thick slices and serve it on a beautiful platter. You can add a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream to complete the dessert.
