Ingredients
100 g package of dried shredded coconut
120 ml of warm water
4 eggs
3 egg yolks
480 ml of sugar
30 ml of butter
120 ml of warm water
4 eggs
3 egg yolks
480 ml of sugar
30 ml of butter
Where to find ingredients
You can find shredded coconut, eggs, sugar, and butter in the baking aisle or fresh produce section of your local supermarket in the Philippines. For a substitute, you may use fresh grated coconut instead of the dried version, though texture may vary slightly.
Preparation method
- Mix the shredded coconut with the warm water in a small bowl.
- Let the coconut soak for about 5 minutes until it is well hydrated.
- Place the hydrated coconut, eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and butter into a blender and blend just enough to combine.
- Grease a 1.5-liter microwave-safe dish with butter and dust 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 for it to cool completely before serving to ensure the ideal texture.
Observations
The Quindão is a larger, 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.
