Base Ingredients

For Greasing

Preparation

Preparation

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). This ensures that the custard cooks evenly.

2. Prepare the Ramekins

In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of softened butter with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Use this mixture to generously grease the insides of your ramekins. This will help the quindim to release easily after baking.

Mixing Ingredients

3. Combine the Coconut and Egg Yolks

In a large mixing bowl, combine 200g of unsweetened grated coconut with 6 large egg yolks. Mix well until the coconut is evenly distributed.

4. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk and Sugar

Add 1 can of sweetened condensed milk and 150g of granulated sugar to the mixture. Stir until fully combined and the sugar is dissolved.

5. Melt the Butter

In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Once melted, add the butter to the coconut mixture and stir until well combined.

Baking

6. Fill the Ramekins

Pour the coconut mixture evenly into the prepared ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full.

7. Bake the Quindim

Place the filled ramekins in a baking dish. Add hot water to the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the quindim are set and the tops are lightly golden.

8. Cool and Serve

Once baked, remove the ramekins from the water bath and allow them to cool at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. To serve, gently run a knife around the edges and invert onto a plate.
