Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Rub 4 ramekins, about 175ml capacity, or dariole moulds liberally with the soft butter. Sprinkle with the caster sugar to coat.
- In a medium bowl, press the egg yolks through a wire sieve and mix with the coconut milk, sugar, coconut and vanilla. Pour into ramekins and place in a large roasting tin in the oven.
- Pour water into the roasting tin to three-quarters up the ramekins so it acts like a bain marie or water bath for the quindim. Bake for 30-35 mins until the tops are golden. Take the ramekins out of the water and leave to cool for 5 mins.
- Chill for 4 hrs and then run a knife around the edge. Place a plate on top and turn out the quindims to serve.

Tips:
- For a smooth and creamy texture, make sure to use room temperature ingredients.
- Do not overbeat the eggs, as this will make the quindim tough.
- Make sure the sugar is completely dissolved before adding the eggs.
- Bake the quindim in a water bath to prevent the top from cracking.
- Allow the quindim to cool completely before serving, as it will continue to cook while it cools.
