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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease six ramekins with ghee and set them aside on a baking sheet.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Stir in the shredded coconut, ensuring it's evenly distributed in the mixture.

Step 6

Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Once cooled, run a knife around the edges of the ramekins to loosen the quindim, then invert onto serving plates.

Step 11

Serve the Paleo Quindim at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy!
