Ingredients

• 8 large egg yolks
• 2 large whole eggs
• 50 grams whey protein isolate (unflavored or vanilla)
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 200 ml coconut milk
• 100 grams unsweetened shredded coconut
• 30 grams butter
• 10 grams butter (for greasing)
• 20 grams sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Grease a muffin tin or small molds with 10g of butter and dust with 20g of sugar.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and whole eggs until thoroughly combined and frothy.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar and continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and the sugar begins to dissolve.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the coconut milk, continuing to whisk to ensure a smooth mixture without lumps.

Step 6

Melt 30g of butter and add it to the egg-sugar-milk mixture.

Step 7

Gradually add the whey protein isolate, whisking constantly to incorporate it fully and prevent clumps.

Step 8

Fold the shredded coconut into the mixture gently with a spatula, ensuring even distribution.

Step 9

Pour the mixture into the prepared molds, filling each mold about three-quarters full.

Step 10

Place the molds into a larger baking dish and pour hot water into the dish to create a bain-marie. The water should reach halfway up the sides of the molds.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes until the tops are golden and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 12

Allow the quindims to cool slightly before unmolding onto a serving plate.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature as a delightful protein-rich dessert.
