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

Where to find ingredients
Find these ingredients at your local supermarket, typically in the baking aisle for coconut and sugar, and in the dairy section for eggs and butter. If specific ingredients are unavailable, use high-quality local substitutes that maintain the required fat and sugar content.
Preparation method
- Mix the shredded coconut with the warm water in a small bowl
- Let the coconut rest for about 5 minutes until it is well hydrated
- Place the hydrated coconut, eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and butter in a blender and pulse only 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 quindão begins to set
- Remove from the microwave, let it cool 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, very popular variation of the traditional quindim. This simplified version uses the microwave to ensure speed without losing the characteristic coconut and egg flavor. Tip: use a microwave-safe mold to ensure even cooking.
