Ingredients
100 g dried shredded 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
You can find all these ingredients at local supermarkets or grocery stores in the baking and pantry aisles. If needed, you can use fresh coconut instead of the dried version, adjusting the moisture as required.
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 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 Quindão starts to set
- Remove from the microwave, let it cool slightly, and carefully unmold onto a serving plate
- Wait until it cools down completely before serving to ensure the ideal texture
Observations
The Quindão is a larger and very 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 dish to ensure even cooking.
