Where to find ingredients
Mangoes, butter, sugar, eggs, flour, baking powder, lime juice, and gelatin are commonly found in the produce, dairy, baking, and international sections of most supermarkets. Sweetened condensed milk is typically found in the baking aisle. If fresh mangoes are unavailable, frozen mango chunks can be used as a substitute. For a specialized Brazilian experience, visit Latin or Brazilian specialty markets.
