Mix the coconut with sugar. Add the melted butter and take to refrigerator for 4 hours. Take the mixture from the refrigerator and add the egg yolks. Mix well. Grease the small moulds with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar. Add the mixture. In a baking dish with water, put the mould in, take it to oven about 170C. Bake until it’s firm and golden brown. Take from the forms while still warm. Take to refrigerator for some hours, or next day *TIP, important I guess: pass the egg yolks through a colander, that´s to take of that peel (that peel, coat, don´t smell good) **OR a big mould like pudding, but NOT too high, meaning "don´t fill up more than 4 cm, just to guarantee a good baking
