Ingredients
100g grated cheese
20 tablespoons sugar
100g shredded coconut
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
6 whole eggs
20 tablespoons sugar
100g shredded coconut
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
6 whole eggs
Where to find ingredients
You can find grated cheese and shredded coconut in the baking aisle or dairy section of local supermarkets. For a suitable substitute if specific Brazilian-style grated cheese is unavailable, a dry, mild, and slightly salty white cheese works best.
Preparation method
- Combine the eggs, sugar, grated cheese, shredded coconut, and butter in your blender jug.
- Blitz the ingredients together until you achieve a completely smooth, uniform mixture.
- Grease a 20cm ring mold with butter and dust the entire interior surface evenly with sugar.
- Pour the prepared batter into the greased ring mold.
- Bake in a preheated oven using a bain-marie (water bath) for approximately 20 minutes, or until the custard is firm to the touch.
Observations

The secret to success lies in careful cooking over a water bath, ensuring the custard sets to a perfect consistency with that signature glossy finish.
