Method

Prepare the molds

Grease 12 small quindim molds or a standard muffin tin well with softened unsalted butter, then dust each cup with granulated sugar. Tilt and tap out the excess so you end up with a thin, even coating that will help the quindims release cleanly and turn glossy.

Preheat the oven

Heat the oven to 350° F. If you want the bake to move smoothly, bring a kettle of water to a boil now so the water bath is ready when the molds go in.

Whisk the batter

Separate 12 eggs and place the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Whisk in the remaining sugar until the mixture looks smooth and a little glossy, then stir in the unsweetened shredded coconut, coconut milk, and melted butter just until combined.

Bake gently

Divide the batter among the prepared molds, filling each about three-quarters full. Set them in a deep roasting pan, pour in hot water until it comes halfway up the sides, and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the tops are deep golden and the centers still wobble slightly when you nudge the pan.

Chill briefly

Let the quindims cool in the molds for 15 minutes, then refrigerate them for 20 minutes until firm enough to unmold cleanly.

Unmold and serve

Run a thin knife around each mold, invert onto plates, and serve the quindims shiny-side up.
