Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool.
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated coconut and egg yolks. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Slowly pour the cooled syrup into the coconut and egg yolk mixture, stirring constantly. Make sure the syrup is well combined with the mixture.
Grease your desired molds with butter (if using) to prevent the quindim from sticking.
Pour the mixture into the greased molds, filling them up to about ¾ full.
Place the molds in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water, creating a water bath.
Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until the quindim is set and has a golden color on top.
Once baked, remove the quindim from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, refrigerate the quindim for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow it to firm up and develop its flavors.
To serve, gently loosen the sides of the molds with a knife and invert the quindim onto a plate. The beautiful golden side should be facing up.
