Ingredients
Chocolate sprinkles or chocolate confetti for decoration
2 tablespoons of high-quality cocoa powder
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
2 tablespoons of high-quality cocoa powder
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
Where to find ingredients
Look for cocoa powder and chocolate sprinkles in the baking aisle of your local supermarket, or in specialty stores that sell baking supplies. For a wider selection, visit stores that cater to baking enthusiasts or import shops. Fresh condensed milk is available in most grocery stores, often near other dairy products. If unavailable, sweetened condensed milk can be substituted with a homemade version using milk and sugar, but the store-bought variety is preferred for authentic flavor. Chocolate sprinkles are common in the baking section, but you can also find them in stores that sell international or Latin American ingredients. For a more authentic look, opt for fine, shiny sprinkles or confetti-style toppings.
