Ingredients for the Perfect Quindim:

- 10 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Instructions:
- Start by hydrating the shredded coconut with the milk in a bowl. Set aside.

- Generously grease individual custard molds (or a muffin tin) with butter and coat with sugar.
- Fill each mold to the top with the batter.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for approximately 40 minutes, or until the tops are set and golden.
- Let the quindins cool slightly before unmolding. You will get perfect, glossy, fragrant, and creamy desserts. A true temptation for anyone who loves rich, egg-based treats!
Pro Tip:
To ensure that signature glossy finish, unmold the quindins while they are still slightly warm. Enjoy this incredible dessert and share it with your loved ones!
