Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large egg yolks
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.75 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon ghee
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease six ramekins with ghee and set them aside on a baking sheet.
In a small saucepan, combine the honey and water. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally until the honey is dissolved and forms a syrup. Set aside to cool.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are well combined and slightly frothy.
Add the cooled honey syrup, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and salt to the bowl with the egg yolks. Whisk until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Stir in the shredded coconut, ensuring it's evenly distributed in the mixture.
Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins.
Place the baking sheet with the ramekins in the oven and carefully pour about 1-inch of hot water onto the baking sheet to create a water bath.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the ramekins from the oven and allow them to cool slightly in the water bath, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, run a knife around the edges of the ramekins to loosen the quindim, then invert onto serving plates.
Serve the Paleo Quindim at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy!
