Where to find ingredients

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 mix
- Grease a 1.5-liter microwave-safe dish with butter and sprinkle with sugar, then pour the mixture in
- Cook in the 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 for it to cool completely before serving to ensure the ideal texture
Observations
The Quindão is a larger, widely popular variation of the traditional quindim. This simplified version uses the microwave to ensure quick results without losing the characteristic flavor of coconut and eggs. Tip: use a microwave-safe mold to ensure even cooking.
