Prepare Ingredients:

Have ready all ingredients needed to make Kaya.

Crack 4 eggs into a mixing bowl and lightly mix with a whisk. (Do not beat). Then add in the sugar and continue to mix.

Next add in the thick coconut milk (santan). Continue to lightly stir and mix till all the sugar has dissolved. Then using a sieve, strain the egg mixture into a bowl and set aside. Then prepare to cook caramel.

Cook Caramel:

Put the sugar to caramel in a small pan and put on a stove top. Using medium low heat, allow the sugar to melt naturally. Do not stir. Let the sugar melt completely and turn into golden brown. Then add in the water and just shake to dilute the caramel into a running mixture.

Remove from heat and pour into a heat proof bowl.

Cook Homemade Kaya:

Pour in the egg mixture into a non stick pan. Using low heat, start to cook the egg mixture and stir continuously until the whole mixture becomes thick. When you see some steam coming up, gradually add in the caramel and continue to stir non stop till the mixture thickens further, is smooth and is of thick pouring consistency.

Then add in the knotted pandan leave. Use a ladle to press on the pandan leaf and continue to stir for just another minute and we are done! Remove the pandan knot and pour our ready made kaya into a container.

Let kaya jam cool down completely, then cover and transfer to chill in the refrigerator.

This rich and aromatic kaya jam is perfect for toast and a cup of coffee. So Enjoy!
