Where to find ingredients
For the passion fruit, look for concentrated passion fruit juice in the international aisle or at Latin specialty markets, as it is key for the authentic flavor. Sweetened condensed milk and table cream are widely available in the baking or international sections of most major supermarkets. For the chocolate pudding mix, check the dessert aisle. If you cannot find high-quality concentrate, high-quality passion fruit nectar can be used as a substitute, though the texture and intensity may vary.
