Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a muffin tin or small tart molds with butter or oil.
Make sure to grease the molds well so the queijadinhas come out easily after baking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with sugar until light and fluffy.
For best results, beat the eggs until you see bubbles on top. This will help create a lighter texture.
Add the condensed milk, coconut milk, and melted butter to the eggs. Mix well.
Ensure the butter is not too hot when adding to the mixture, to avoid curdling the eggs.
Add the grated coconut and baking powder to the mixture, stirring until fully combined.
The grated coconut should be evenly distributed throughout the batter to give every bite a coconut flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared molds, filling them about 3/4 full.
Don’t overfill the molds, as the queijadinhas will puff up while baking.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the queijadinhas are golden brown on top and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
Keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time to prevent overbaking.
Let the queijadinhas cool for a few minutes before removing them from the molds. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Queijadinhas are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container for a couple of days.
