Where to find ingredients
You can find these items at local supermarkets or grocery stores in the baking or dairy aisles. For the 'queijo ralado', a mild, salty, finely grated hard cheese is the traditional choice to balance the sweetness.
Preparation method
- Place the eggs, sugar, grated cheese, coconut, and butter into your blender.
- Blitz the ingredients together until the batter is completely smooth and well-combined.
- Grease an 8-inch ring mold with butter and dust the interior surface evenly with sugar.
- Pour the prepared batter into the prepared mold.
- Place the mold into a preheated oven using a water bath (bain-marie) and bake for about 20 minutes or until the top is set.
