I'm here today with a quick and delicious recipe to you!
As a baker, I always keep a stock of eggs in my place - you never know when inspiration may come :) - but since it's a product that can easily go bad, I don't like to keep them for too long.
This past week I didn't bake anything so I decided it was time to use the eggs fast! For that reason I looked for a delicious recipe that would require the use of heaps of eggs. :)
If you feel like making this dessert but, either don't have the full amount of the ingredients or you just think it's too many eggs, I suggest you proportion the recipe to what you have.
Well, without further a due, I bring to you "Quindim" - a Brazilian baked dessert, sort of like a flan/custard. It's made mostly of egg yolks, sugar and coconut.
Enjoy. :)
Ingredients
300 g of caster/white sugar
100 g of shredded coconut
20 egg yolks
1 tbsp of plain flour
50 g of butter
50 ml of milk
Preparation
1 - Pre-heat oven at 180ºc.
2 - Grease the small flan tins with butter and sugar.
3 - In a bowl, mix well the sugar, flour, coconut and the yolks.
4 - Heat the milk up with the butter until the butter melts and add it to the mix. Wait until it cools down.
5 - Put the mixture in the little tins.
6 - Put the tins in bain marie and take it to the oven until the top is golden brown.
7 - Unmold when it's cold.
Tip: Put in the fridge for a little while before serving it.
PS: I made aprox. 1/3 of this recipe and it was enough for four small "quindins".
Cheers,
Dee.
