Ingredients
- 8 large egg yolks
- 2 large whole eggs
- 50 grams whey protein isolate (unflavored or vanilla)
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 200 ml coconut milk
- 100 grams unsweetened shredded coconut
- 30 grams butter
- 10 grams butter (for greasing)
- 20 grams sugar (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 2
Grease a muffin tin or small molds with 10g of butter and dust with 20g of sugar.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and whole eggs until thoroughly combined and frothy.
Step 4
Add the granulated sugar and continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and the sugar begins to dissolve.
Step 5
Slowly pour in the coconut milk, continuing to whisk to ensure a smooth mixture without lumps.
Step 6
Melt 30g of butter and add it to the egg-sugar-milk mixture.
Step 7
Gradually add the whey protein isolate, whisking constantly to incorporate it fully and prevent clumps.
Step 8
Fold the shredded coconut into the mixture gently with a spatula, ensuring even distribution.
Step 9
Pour the mixture into the prepared molds, filling each mold about three-quarters full.
Step 10
Place the molds into a larger baking dish and pour hot water into the dish to create a bain-marie. The water should reach halfway up the sides of the molds.
Step 11
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes until the tops are golden and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 12
Allow the quindims to cool slightly before unmolding onto a serving plate.
Step 13
Serve warm or at room temperature as a delightful protein-rich dessert.
