Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Thick-sliced bread
- 200 ml Coconut milk
- 50 g Coconut cream
- 3 large Eggs
- 150 g Sugar
- 4 leaves Pandan leaves
- 50 g Plant-based butter
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, eggs, and sugar. Whisk until the sugar has mostly dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Add the pandan leaves to the mixture and place the saucepan over low heat.
Stir the mixture continuously to avoid curdling, cooking for about 15 minutes until it thickens to a custard-like consistency.
Once thickened, remove the pandan leaves and stir in the coconut cream until well combined. This is your dairy-free kaya.
Set the kaya aside to cool and thicken at room temperature.
Toast the thick slices of bread in a toaster or under a grill until golden brown on both sides.
Spread a generous layer of plant-based butter on each slice of toasted bread.
Top with a thick layer of cooled dairy-free kaya, ensuring even coverage over the buttery toast.
Cut the toast slices in half, serve warm, and enjoy your scrumptious dairy-free kaya butter toast!
