20 tablespoons granulated sugar
100g grated coconut
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
6 whole eggs
20 tablespoons granulated sugar
100g grated coconut
1 tablespoon butter or margarine

Where to find ingredients
You can find desiccated coconut and high-quality eggs at local supermarkets or neighbourhood duka. Grated cheese is commonly available in the dairy aisle; for an authentic flavour, look for a mild, slightly salty hard cheese if you cannot find specific Brazilian types.
Preparation method
- Place the eggs, sugar, grated cheese, grated coconut, and butter into your blender.
- Pulse or blend all the ingredients until you achieve a completely smooth, homogeneous mixture.
- Lightly grease a 20cm ring mold with butter and dust the entire inner surface thoroughly with sugar.
- Pour the custard mixture carefully into the prepared mold.
- Bake in a preheated oven using a bain-marie for approximately 20 minutes, or until the custard is set.
Observations
The Quindim stands as one of the most iconic desserts in Brazilian culinary heritage, cherished for its smooth, custard-like texture and the bold, sunny combination of coconut and egg yolks. This blender-based version streamlines the traditional technique, making it an accessible treat for anyone seeking a sophisticated sweet with minimal effort in the kitchen. The secret lies in the gentle bain-marie (water bath) cooking process, which ensures the signature firm consistency and the glossy, golden finish characteristic of a perfect Quindim.
