What is quindins?

Quindins are Brazilian desserts made from eggs, sugar, and grated coconut, baked in small molds and then coated in a golden caramel glaze. They are similar to flan or crème caramel in texture and are said to have originated in the northern state of Bahia. Quindins are often served as a sweet treat after a meal or as a snack and are a popular dessert in Brazilian cuisine. They are usually small, about the size of a cupcake, and often sold in bakeries or at street vendors. Quindins can also be found in other countries, such as Portugal, where they are called "pudim de coco."
