Ingredients

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
Find these ingredients at any local supermarket, typically in the baking supplies or pantry aisles. You can use any high-quality butter, and substitute the dried coconut with fresh grated coconut if preferred, adjusting the water content slightly if necessary.
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 the mixture in
- Microwave on medium power for 9 to 12 minutes until the quindão 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 and highly 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.
