Ingredients
4egg yolks - used large eggs
60gbrown sugar
20ggula melaka (palm sugar) - chopped fine
200gcoconut cream - Kara brand
4pandan leaves - cut to short length
Instructions
Separate egg yolks from the whites (remove as much egg whites as possible, as traces of egg whites will make the kaya lumpy).
Add coconut cream, sugar, gula melaka and pandan leaves in a pot. Cook on low heat until sugar melted and it is about to boil. Turn off heat and let it cool down a little.
Gently whisk the egg yolks and add 1/4 portion of warm coconut mixer to the egg yolks and stir well. Then pour back egg yolks mixture to the remaining coconut mixer.
Continue stirring the mixture on low heat for about 10-15 minutes till smooth consistency. Check by drawing a line in the center and it should remain parted.
Turn off heat and discard the pandan leaves. Cool kaya completely before scooping it into a sterilized jar. Keep refrigerated for a longer shelf life.
