Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 ½ cups grated coconut
- 10 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for greasing the molds)
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.
