400 g sugar
30 ml butter
120 ml warm water
4 eggs

Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients at local supermarkets and food markets. Look for the baking and dry goods aisle to source the shredded coconut and sugar, while fresh eggs and butter are available in the refrigerated section.
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 dessert begins to set.
- Remove from the microwave, let it cool slightly, and carefully unmold onto a serving plate.
- Wait until completely cool 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 mold to ensure even cooking throughout.
