In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk and coconut cream until smooth.
Tie the pandan leaves into a knot and add them to a medium saucepan.
Pour in the coconut mixture and add the granulated sugar.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar fully dissolves and the mixture begins to steam but not boil.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to make a slurry.
Lower the heat and add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan, stirring continuously until the kaya thickens to a custard-like consistency. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Add the turmeric powder for color and stir until fully incorporated.
Remove the pandan leaves and let the kaya cool at room temperature.
Toast the vegan bread slices in a toaster or on a dry skillet until golden brown.
Spread a generous amount of vegan butter over each slice of hot, crispy toast.
Top the buttered toast with a thick layer of cooled kaya.
Serve immediately and enjoy your vegan kaya butter toast.
