120 ml warm water
4 eggs
3 egg yolks
400 g sugar
30 g butter
120 ml warm water
4 eggs
3 egg yolks

Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients in the baking aisle or dairy section of local supermarkets. If shredded coconut is not available, desiccated coconut makes a perfect substitute.
Preparation method
- Mix the shredded coconut with the warm water in a small bowl
- Let the coconut soak for about 5 minutes until it is well hydrated
- Place the hydrated coconut, eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and butter in a blender and pulse just enough to combine
- Grease a 1.5-liter microwave-safe dish with butter and sprinkle with sugar, then pour in the mixture
- Microwave on medium power for 9 to 12 minutes until the custard starts to set
- Remove from the microwave, let it cool down slightly, and carefully unmold onto a serving plate
- Wait for it to cool completely before serving to ensure the ideal texture
Observations
The quindão is a larger, highly popular variation of the traditional quindim. This simplified version uses the microwave to ensure speed without sacrificing the distinctive flavor of coconut and eggs. Tip: use a microwave-safe mold to ensure even cooking.
