KAYA


yummilicious home made pandan kaya.

ingredients:

coconut milk 1 1/2 cup
sugar 1 1/2 cup
eggs 4
pandan leaf 1
sugar for caramel 1/4 cup


directions:
  1. whisk eggs and sugar until all the sugar dissolves
  2. heat the mixture using double boiler or slow cooker, add coconut milk little at a time while stirring.
  3. put pandan leaf and stir once in a while in about 25 minutes.
  4. after 25 minutes the mixture will start to thicken pretty fast, so you have to keep on stirring until you are satisfied with the texture.
  5. meanwhile, heat the 1/4 cup of sugar-stirring continuously until the sugar liquefy and turned brownish**, pour water immediately***
  6. then, pour the caramelized sugar into the kaya mixture and stir a little bit more until you get the right kaya consistency.
  7. done!
  8. serve with fresh toasted bread and butter.yummm...
**take good care not to burn the sugar, else you would end up with a bitter kaya. the colour of the sugar should be a little bit darker than the kaya in the picture, but not to0 dark.

***CAUTION!this is an exothermic reaction, so be careful. the mixture will pour out if you use a shallow pot,so make sure you use a deep pot instead. and liquefied sugar is VERY VERY hot. do not attempt to touch the with your hand unless of course if you don't mind getting a third degree burn. ;p
