Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large egg yolks
- 100 grams unsweetened shredded coconut
- 80 grams granulated erythritol
- 200 milliliters coconut milk
- 30 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease individual muffin tins or a quindim mold with butter.
In a large mixing bowl, gently whisk the egg yolks until smooth, being careful not to introduce too much air.
Add the granulated erythritol to the egg yolks and continue to whisk until the erythritol is thoroughly mixed.
Stir in the melted butter, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine.
Add the unsweetened shredded coconut to the mixture and stir until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Allow the mixture to rest for about 10 minutes to help the coconut absorb some of the liquid.
Pour the quindim batter into the prepared molds, filling each about two-thirds full.
Place the molds on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are set and lightly golden.
Remove the quindins from the oven and let them cool in the molds for about 10 minutes.
Carefully run a knife around the edges of each mold to loosen the quindins, then gently invert them onto a serving platter.
Allow the quindins to cool completely before serving, as this will enhance their flavor and texture.
