This is a very easy recipe from Brazil. My grandma made a lot when we went to her house as kids.
I made the queijadinhas (pronounced "kay-ji-dee-nia") for Thanksgiving this year.
Ingredients:
4 eggs
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups grated coconut
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup coconut milk
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 390 °F.
Place all ingredients in the order listed above in the blender and turn it on.
Pour the mixture into a cupcake baking sheet lined with paper cupcake cups.
Bake for about 40 minutes or until it starts to brown on top.
Notes:
If you want to enhance the cheese flavor in the queijadinha, add more parmesan.
For less dry cakes, bake them in water bath (putting the cupcake sheet inside a rectangular baking sheet containing hot water). But it is a lot more work, you have to be careful not to "bathe" the cakes in the hot water when you remove them from the oven (it happened to me).
