Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large Egg yolks
- 100 grams Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 100 grams Erythritol sweetener
- 30 grams Butter (melted)
- 200 ml Coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks thoroughly until they are smooth and slightly frothy.
Add the erythritol sweetener to the egg yolks and mix until the sweetener is well dissolved.
Incorporate the melted butter, salt, and vanilla extract into the egg mixture and combine until smooth.
Gradually add the coconut milk, mixing continuously to ensure a uniform and smooth mixture.
Stir in the shredded coconut, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Grease 6 ramekins generously with cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the quindim after baking.
Pour the mixture into the prepared ramekins, filling each about two-thirds full.
Place the ramekins in a deep baking dish and fill the dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins to create a water bath.
Carefully transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the quindins are set but still jiggly in the center.
Remove from the oven and let the quindins cool in the water bath for about 10 minutes.
Once slightly cooled, run a knife around the edges of each ramekin to loosen the quindim.
Invert the quindim onto serving plates and allow them to cool completely before serving.
Enjoy your low-carb quindim either at room temperature or lightly chilled!
