Introduction
This is probably not the most waist friendly dessert on this site but it is a modified version of the original and as a result it is less caloric.I made an angel food cake and needed to find some way of using up the left-over yolks. I had to look no further than my roots to rediscover one of my favorite desserts from my childhood. My grandmother used to make this for me and mine didn't turn out as good as hers, but they still brought me back.
I used a mini muffin pan to bake this. The recipe yields 33 quindins, and each one has just 70 calories. Not bad at all, but the problem is that you can't eat just one!
They freeze well, so go ahead and make a batch! You can also serve them at a party atop flattened baking cups. This is probably not the most waist friendly dessert on this site but it is a modified version of the original and as a result it is less caloric.

Ingredients
-
10 egg yolks
200 grams of sugar
200 ml of coconut milk (I found the brand DuCoco at my local supermarket)
150 grams of coconut flakes
butter to grease the pan
sugar to grease the pan
Directions
Mix all the ingredients together.
Use some butter to grease the pan and then sprinkle it with sugar.
Fill each cup with the mixture and cook in a water bath for 30 to 45 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. You can do the toothpick test and if it is done but the tops aren't browned, use the broiler for a couple of minutes.
Let it cool enough to handle and use a knife to get them out.
They will have a slightly gelatinous top and a crunchy bottom.
Serve as a dessert.
