How to make it

Steps in our own plain words.

Turn the oven on to 350°F (325°F for a fan oven).
Rub 4 ramekins, around ⅔ cup + 1 tbsp capacity, or dariole moulds liberally using the soft butter.
Sprinkle with the caster sugar to coat.
Press your egg yolks through a wire sieve in a medium bowl.
Mix with vanilla, coconut, sugar and the coconut milk.
Pour into ramekins.
Place in a big roasting tin in the oven.
Pour water in your roasting tin to three-quarters up your ramekins so it acts like bain marie or water bath for your quindim.
Cook in the oven for 30-35 mins till the tops are golden.
Take the ramekins out of the water.
Leave to cool for 5 mins.
Chill for 4 hrs.
Run a knife around the edge.
Place a plate on top.
Turn out the quindims to serve.
