Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Thick brown bread slices
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 ml Coconut milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 leaves Pandan leaves
- 50 grams Coconut sugar
Instructions
Begin by preparing the kaya jam. In a saucepan, combine coconut milk and coconut sugar over low heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
Beat the eggs lightly in a separate bowl and gradually add them to the saucepan, stirring continuously to prevent them from curdling.
Tie the pandan leaves into a knot and place them into the saucepan. This will impart the signature pandan aroma.
Cook the mixture over low heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring consistently, until the kaya thickens to a custard-like consistency.
Once the kaya has thickened, remove the pandan leaves and set the kaya aside to cool.
Toast the brown bread slices in a toaster or on a pan until they are golden brown.
While the toast is warm, spread a generous amount of unsalted butter on each slice, followed by a thick layer of kaya.
Cut the toast diagonally into halves or quarters and serve immediately for the best taste.
