Tip

1. This is a very successful recipe IF you are using canned/tinned/packet Coconut Cream. In certain parts of Australia, it is impossible to get your hands on fresh coconut cream. By cooking it at 90 degrees initially, keeps the eggs intact without curdling it. This makes a beautiful kaya that doesn't require any further blending and it keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 weeks, although I doubt it will stay in the fridge for that long.

2. If you can't find "Kara", and have to use another... try to make sure that you drain the liquid stuff..and scope as much cream out. The less liquid the better. The more liquid, the longer you have to cook it for.

3. If using knotted pandan leaves, please do everything REVERSE. From step 2 onwards.

4. I have not had the opportunity to try it out with fresh coconut cream... please let me know via comments if it works!

5. Please feel free to reduce the sugar to 220gm.

6. Eat with toast, slathered with slabs of butter and hot coffee!

  • I have made this recipe multiple times and even...

    Submitted by m.mcgookin on 1. June 2020 - 07:45.

    I have made this recipe multiple times and even double the recipe which gives about 3 jars (roughly about 1150ml).

    Taste is brilliant and easy to control the consistency. Never had egg cuddle problem and I just use shop brand coconut cream (I am in the UK) and 200g granulated sugar. I also use Pandan juice (by blitzing frozen pandan leaves and squeeze the juice out).

    Definitely recommend this recipe. tmrc_emoticons.)

    Delicious - I too reduced the sugar as commented and used 150g brown sugar which I felt could probably be reduced further to 130g tmrc_emoticons.)

  • This is a fantastic recipe. 

    Submitted by equuleus on 31. May 2015 - 21:20.

    This is a fantastic recipe.  I used 180g coconut sugar and a whole 270g can of Ayam coconut cream.  Not sure it will last until breakfast as we're eating it by the spoonful straight from the jar at the moment!

  • It really is yummy and taste

    Submitted by AnneFwee on 30. September 2013 - 15:12.

    It really is yummy and taste close to the one of my hometown! I have used 200g Rapadura sugar and it's still a little sweet. Will try 150g next time. Authentic Melaka sugar will be great, though coconut sugar should do too.
