π€― 10-MINUTE KAYA (COCONUT JAM) π€―
Growing up I always thought making kaya was this laborious affair that takes hours of stirring and simmering over the stovetop, a real labour of love made by my mom and aunties. But then turns out you can make it in 10 minutes. ππ»ββοΈ
Fiiiine the technique isn't 'traditional' and 'authentic', but if it can get me a luxuriously smooth and silky kaya, why not? (Don't get me started if you're a lumpy kaya fan. ππ») In fact, I'm willing to betchu, unless you're a brown sugar savant, if you tasted this you wouldn't be able to tell it's a 'cheat kaya'. π
Credit where it's due, I learnt this from
, and it is a gamechanger!!
Here's what you'll need to make this:
240g (1 cup) coconut cream (not milk!)
50g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar
50g (1/4 cup) good brown/palm sugar
2g (1/4 tsp) salt
4 egg yolks
2 pandan leaves, optional
Key tips:
- As the kaya is cooking in the pot, keep stirring so it cooks evenly.
- Keep it on medium heat, and don't let the kaya boil. You can turn it down to low if you see it thickening way too fast. (You can usually tell from the amount of steam coming out of the liquid; you want gentle steam wisps not big puffs.)
