Which fruit is used to make the traditional Brazilian dessert Quindim?

Quindim is a traditional Brazilian dessert made from a mixture of sugar, egg yolks, and shredded coconut. This sweet treat is known for its bright yellow color and glossy, smooth texture, which comes from the high quantity of egg yolks used in the recipe. The ingredients are blended together and then baked in small, individual molds. During baking, the coconut settles at the bottom, forming a slightly chewy crust, while the rest of the mixture sets into a rich, custard-like consistency. Once baked, the quindins are inverted onto a plate, showcasing the golden, shiny top. This dessert is popular in Brazil for its rich flavor and creamy texture, often enjoyed at celebrations and special occasions.
