Coconut quindim

Ingredients:

  • Butter - 2 tablespoons
  • Egg Yolks - 10
  • Caster Sugar - 100g

  • Desiccated Coconut - 50g
  • Vanilla Extract - 1 tsp

Sprinkle with the caster sugar to coat. step 2 In a medium bowl, press the egg yolks through a wire sieve and mix with the coconut milk, sugar, coconut and vanilla. Pour into ramekins and place in a large roasting tin in the oven. step 3 Pour water into the roasting tin to three-quarters up the ramekins so it acts like a bain marie or water bath for the quindim. Bake for 30-35 mins until the tops are golden. Take the ramekins out of the water and leave to cool for 5 mins. step 4 Chill for 4 hrs and then run a knife around the edge. Place a plate on top and turn out the quindims to serve.
