Ingredients
Switch to Cup MeasuresFor the quindim
- 500 grams desiccated coconut
- 500 grams sugar
- 100 grams unsalted butter (melted)
- 30 grams egg yolks
For the greasing of the small moulds
- 100 grams unsalted butter (melted)
- 125 ml sugar
Method
- Mix the coconut with sugar. Add the melted butter and take to refrigerator for 4 hours.
- Take the mixture from the refrigerator and add the egg yolks. Mix well.
- Grease the small moulds with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar. Add the mixture.
- In a baking dish with water, put the mould in, take it to oven about 170C. Bake until it’s firm and golden brown. Take from the forms while still warm.
- Take to refrigerator for some hours, or next day *TIP, important I guess: pass the egg yolks through a colander, that´s to take of that peel (that peel, coat, don´t smell good) **OR a big mould like pudding, but NOT too high, meaning "don´t fill up more than 4 cm, just to guarantee a good baking
