Keto Quindims
Quindims are a popular Brazilian baked coconut dessert made using a custard base and filled with coconut flakes. The dessert is Portuguese in origin, where egg yolks are very common in desserts. Typically, they are made with white sugar (which we have replaced with sweetener), egg yolks, and shredded coconut. They are the perfect Keto dessert as they are high in fat and low in carbs. You will love the rich egg custard laced with coconut! Each quindim is baked in a mini muffin tin until just cooked. They are served upside down to expose their yellow color.

How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 F. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the sweetener, shredded coconut, egg yolks, and egg white. Mix well to combine the ingredients.
Step 2
Grease a 12-count muffin tin with butter (or a non-dairy fat like coconut oil). Next, take a small cookie scoop and portion the quindim batter into the greased mini muffin tins. Bake the quindims for 12-15 minutes or until they are lightly golden but cooked through.
Step 3
Allow cooling slightly before running a knife around the edges of them and inverting the quindims. Serve immediately.
Step 4
Store cooled quindims in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days. Reheat briefly in the microwave before enjoying.
