My grandpa made these all the time. I’m getting tearing eyed as I watch this and build the expectation to make some in his honor! Wow. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Waw so nice I’m from Brazil and I was searching for quindim recipe, so a came across this video, the year you said you went to Brazil it is the year I was born, I will be trying this recipe, thanks for sharing 🫶🏼
It’s interesting that the technique is called Bain-Marie in French. Brazil uses the literal translation to that: banho Maria. (Assuming that the French came up with it first)
all wrong from the beginning... you never strain yolks with spoon or spatula as defeats the purpose of removing the membrane that encloses the yolk and gives the "egg taste" to dishes. When you use a spoon or spatula, you are pressing the membrane through the sieve... butter not to strain at all as you are indeed doing nothing! Second, any Brazilian that makes quindim knows that there are several tricks for having a nice final product that is creamy on top and crispy with a thin coconut layer at the bottom. This takes a little time also for the sugar to dissolve completely in the mixture (hence we leave it rest for a while in the fridge before baking). This recipe has a huge amount of coconut for the amount of yolks used. Traditionally quindim cannot be made with brown sugar... there are versions even using chocolate but will never have the wonderful taste of the original one. Indeed the original is a Portuguese recipe that used almond meal but as colonial Brazil did not have this ingredient readily available, they changed the recipe for using coconut instead. SACRILEDGE! She added salt and whipped egg whites to a quindim... also, a little vanilla is used. The end result is a dryer and harder quindim that was even able to be removed from the mold by tapping it .... what would never happen to a traditional one as they are delicate and creamy..... Well, can call the recipe "My personal version of Brazilian Quindim" but not say that this is the true recipe or the true way of making it.... sorry but very disappointed with that recipe.
@@XX-nm3kv im brazilian and i can confirm this "internet troll" is correct. The strainer is meant to separate the membrane from the egg but since she clearly didnt do that then there's no point
