Ingredients
100g grated cheese (queijo ralado)
20 tablespoons sugar
100g grated coconut
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
6 large eggs
20 tablespoons sugar
100g grated coconut
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
6 large eggs
Where to find ingredients
Find the grated cheese and shredded coconut in the baking or international aisle of your local grocery store. For the best texture, ensure the cheese is finely grated; as a substitute for traditional Brazilian queijo ralado, a dry, salty Parmesan can be used.
Preparation method
- Add the eggs, sugar, grated cheese, coconut, and butter to your blender
- Pulse and blend all ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth
- Grease a 20cm ring mold with butter and dust the entire surface with sugar
- Pour the prepared batter into the greased mold
- Bake in a preheated oven using a water bath for approximately 20 minutes or until the custard is set
Observations
Quindim is an iconic staple of Brazilian confectionery, celebrated for its silky mouthfeel and the distinct richness of eggs paired with grated coconut. This blender version streamlines the traditional process, making it an excellent choice for those seeking an elegant dessert without extensive prep. The key lies in the careful water bath (banho-maria) technique, which ensures the signature set, smooth texture, and glossy finish of this classic treat.
