Where to find ingredients
You can easily find these ingredients at local supermarkets in Trinidad and Tobago. Look for the condensed milk and coconut milk in the baking or canned goods aisles. Table cream (creme de leite) is usually stocked in the dairy or international foods section. Unflavored gelatin can be found in the baking aisle near the jelly and pudding mixes. If you have trouble locating specific Brazilian-style table cream, a full-fat evaporated milk or a thick heavy cream are suitable local alternatives.

- Combine the condensed milk, table cream, and coconut milk in a blender and pulse until smooth
- Dissolve the gelatin in 1/2 cup of warm water
- Add the dissolved gelatin into the blender with the other ingredients
- Blend everything for 5 to 8 minutes to ensure a silky consistency
