Ingredients
100 g dried shredded coconut
120 ml warm water
4 eggs
3 egg yolks
480 g sugar
30 ml butter
120 ml warm water
4 eggs
3 egg yolks
480 g sugar
30 ml butter
Where to find ingredients
You can find dried shredded coconut in the baking aisle of most grocery stores. For the butter and eggs, any standard refrigerated dairy and poultry section will suffice. Substitutes: you may use full-fat canned coconut milk if you want a richer texture, but keep the original coconut as the primary ingredient.
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 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 in the mixture
- Cook in the microwave at medium power for 9 to 12 minutes until the Quindão starts to firm up
- 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 and highly popular variation of the traditional quindim. This simplified version uses the microwave to ensure quick results without sacrificing the classic flavor of coconut and eggs. Tip: use a microwave-safe mold to ensure even cooking.
