Passion Fruit Quindim
A variation on a Brazilian classic dessert made with egg yolks and shredded coconut: the quindim. Here it's enhanced with a tangy touch of passion fruit. A perfect version for those who love this dessert but prefer a slightly less sweet twist.

Transfer the yolk and passion fruit mixture to the prepared pan

Fill a large pan with water up to two fingers high. Place the baking pan with the egg yolk mixture carefully inside
Bake the quindim for 1h. It'is fully baked when the batter under the coconut layer shows a slight resistance when pierced with a toothpick, indicating that it's no longer liquid. Let it cool down completely
Turn the quindim all at once onto a plate to unmold it. If needed, run a knife around the mold to ensure it's loosened. The pasion fruit quindim is ready
Serve it and impress. Enjoy!
