Ingredients
1/2 bottle concentrated passion fruit juice
3 cans condensed milk
4 cans table cream
2 boxes chocolate pudding mix
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 litre milk
3 cans condensed milk
4 cans table cream
2 boxes chocolate pudding mix
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Where to find ingredients
Look for concentrated passion fruit juice in the juice aisle of larger supermarkets or speciality Latin American food stores. Table cream (creme de leite) can usually be found in the dairy section of supermarkets, often near the whipping cream or evaporated milk. Chocolate pudding mix is widely available in the baking or dessert aisles.
If you can't find concentrated passion fruit juice, you can use fresh passion fruit pulp (about 4-5 fruits) blended with a little water and strained, then use that amount. For table cream, if unavailable, a good substitute is heavy whipping cream, but the texture might be slightly different.
