Where to find ingredients
Chocolate powder, condensed milk, and heavy cream can typically be found in the baking or dairy aisle of most supermarkets. Ground walnuts are often available in the baking or nut section. Unflavored gelatin is usually in the baking aisle as well. If you can't find ground walnuts, you can grind whole walnuts yourself in a food processor or blender. For a more authentic Brazilian flavor profile, consider visiting Latin or Brazilian specialty stores for a wider selection of products.
