Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Grease individual ramekins with butter.

In a blender, combine egg yolks, sugar, and melted butter until smooth.

Add coconut, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt; blend until well mixed.

Pour the mixture into the prepared ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.

Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with water halfway up the sides of the ramekins.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until set and lightly golden on top.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.

Carefully run a knife around the edges of each ramekin to loosen the quindim.

Invert each ramekin onto a plate to release the quindim.

Serve warm or chilled, garnished with toasted coconut if desired.
