Ingredients
100 g dried shredded coconut
120 ml warm water
4 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
480 ml sugar
30 ml butter
120 ml warm water
4 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
480 ml sugar
30 ml butter
Where to find ingredients
You can find the ingredients at any local supermarket, specifically in the baking supplies and produce sections. For the best result, use good quality unsweetened desiccated coconut and fresh eggs. If you have trouble unmolding, run a thin knife around the edge once it has cooled slightly.
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, whole 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 sprinkle with sugar, then pour the mixture in
- Microwave on medium power for 9 to 12 minutes until the Quindão starts to set
- Remove from the microwave, let it warm down, 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 and highly popular variation of the traditional Quindim. This simplified version uses the microwave to ensure speed without sacrificing the characteristic flavor of coconut and eggs. Tip: use a microwave-safe mold to ensure even cooking.
