Ingredients
100 g desiccated grated coconut
120 ml warm water
4 eggs
3 egg yolks
480 g sugar
30 g butter
120 ml warm water
4 eggs
3 egg yolks
480 g sugar
30 g butter
Where to find ingredients
Find these ingredients at local supermarkets in the baking or pantry sections. If fresh coconut is unavailable, desiccated coconut is an excellent pantry staple found in most shops. You can use margarine as a substitute for butter if needed.
Preparation method
- Mix the grated 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 just enough to mix
- Grease a 1.5-liter microwave-safe dish with butter and sprinkle with sugar, then pour in the mixture
- Cook in the 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 and highly popular variation of the traditional quindim. This simplified version uses the microwave to ensure speed without losing the characteristic flavor of coconut and eggs. Tip: use a microwave-safe mold to ensure even cooking.
