Ingredients
100g grated cheese (queijo ralado)
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
6 whole eggs
Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local general stores or markets. Look for finely grated coconut in the baking aisle. The 'queijo ralado' is a staple in Brazilian pantries; if unavailable, a dry, mild grated cheese with a similar salt profile may be used as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Place the eggs, sugar, grated cheese, grated coconut, and butter into your blender carafe.
- Pulse and blend the ingredients until you achieve a perfectly smooth and uniform mixture.
- Lightly grease a 20 cm ring mold (bundt pan) with butter and dust the entire inner surface with sugar.
- Pour the prepared custard batter into the prepared mold.
- Bake in a preheated oven using a bain-marie setup for approximately 20 minutes, or until the custard is set.
Observations
The quindim stands as one of the most iconic delicacies in Brazilian dessert culture, celebrated for its silky texture and the distinct harmony of coconut and egg yolks. This blender-based method simplifies the traditional process, making it an excellent choice for those seeking an elegant sweet without spending hours in the kitchen. The key lies in the gentle bain-marie baking technique, which ensures the signature firm, custard-like consistency and a brilliant golden sheen.
