Where to find ingredients
The passion fruit flavored drink mix can typically be found in the international or beverage aisle of larger supermarkets, or specifically in Latin or international food stores.
Shredded coconut and coconut flakes are widely available in the baking or international aisle of most supermarkets. Unsweetened shredded coconut is common, but sweetened varieties can also be used, adjusting sugar if necessary.
Corn syrup is usually found in the baking aisle of supermarkets. If unavailable, a simple syrup made by boiling equal parts sugar and water until dissolved can be used as a substitute in many recipes, though it may slightly alter the final texture.
Eggs are a staple and available in the dairy or refrigerated section of all grocery stores.
Water is readily available from your tap.
