120 ml warm water
4 eggs
3 egg yolks
400 g sugar
30 g butter
120 ml warm water
4 eggs
3 egg yolks
400 g sugar
30 g butter
Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients at local grocery stores and supermarkets in the baking or produce aisles. Shredded coconut is typically found in the pantry staples section.
Preparation method
- Mix the shredded coconut with the warm water in a small bowl
- Let the coconut rest for about 5 minutes until 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 Quindão starts to firm up
- Remove from the microwave, let it cool down slightly, and carefully unmold onto a serving plate
- Wait until it has completely cooled 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.
