🇧🇷 Brazil recipe

Quindim

A shimmering jewel of Brazilian confectionery, quindim is a bright yellow coconut custard of Portuguese colonial origin. Made with an abundance of egg yolks, sugar, butter, and grated coconut, it bakes into a firm yet impossibly smooth custard with a glistening, almost translucent surface. Each individual mold reveals a tiny golden dome of pure indulgence.
