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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease individual muffin tins or a quindim mold with butter.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, gently whisk the egg yolks until smooth, being careful not to introduce too much air.
Step 3
Add the granulated erythritol to the egg yolks and continue to whisk until the erythritol is thoroughly mixed.
Step 4
Stir in the melted butter, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine.
Step 5
Add the unsweetened shredded coconut to the mixture and stir until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 6
Allow the mixture to rest for about 10 minutes to help the coconut absorb some of the liquid.
Step 7
Pour the quindim batter into the prepared molds, filling each about two-thirds full.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Remove the quindins from the oven and let them cool in the molds for about 10 minutes.
Step 10
Carefully run a knife around the edges of each mold to loosen the quindins, then gently invert them onto a serving platter.
Step 11
Allow the quindins to cool completely before serving, as this will enhance their flavor and texture.
