    This coconut flan only has three ingredients and looks wonderful when cooked.

    Coconut flan

    What is Quindim?

    This is a Brazilian dessert that I came across in an effort to use up all the egg yolks I have left over after making healthy bread (which uses egg whites).   There is a limit to how much mayonnaise we can eat, so I looked for another way to use egg yolks and voila!   I replaced the sugar in the traditional recipe with erythritol.  You could used your sweetner of choice instead.     It looks like you slaved away in the kitchen for ages too!

    Coconut flan

    Quindin is baked in a Bain Marie (water bath) and the coconut rises to the top while it's baking.  The cakes are then flipped out of the molds to reveal their golden cap of custard.  You can use a mini muffin tin, but I thought I would use my donut tin to make the dessert extra pretty.   Plus I like desserts in donut shape!  When cooked the coconut settles to the top of the tin and the egg mixture settles but it looks like a jelly mixture.

      How lovely. I have exactly the opposite problem - I am rather partial to all manner of mayonnaise, hollandaise and custard based dishes, so I always have egg whites knocking about. Have you a recipe for the bread too? I'm definitely going to give this a go, and add to the egg white problem 🙂
      I have very successfully made egg custard from honey and coconut milk. I don't know what the kinds of substitutions for sweetener will substitute for honey, but it might be worth a try if you have egg yolks left again?

        I do have a jar of mayonnaise on the go most weeks, but this bread recipe means I have a surplus of egg yolks! I like the sound of an egg custard with coconut milk though! Shall have a play around with that one! Thanks for the suggestion.
        The bread recipe is a gluten free one and the results are very similar to "the real thing". Enjoy!
