Ingredients
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 100 ml Coconut cream
- 3 large Eggs
- 150 grams Palm sugar
- 2 whole Pandan leaves
- 4 slices White bread slices
- 2 tablespoons Vegan butter
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
Step 2
Add the coconut milk, coconut cream, and palm sugar to the bowl. Stir until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
Step 3
Tie the pandan leaves into a knot and add them to the mixture.
Step 4
Pour the mixture into a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent curdling.
Step 5
Cook the mixture for about 20-25 minutes, or until thickened to a custard-like consistency. Remove the pandan leaves once the kaya reaches the desired thickness.
Step 6
Allow the kaya to cool completely before using. Store in an airtight jar if not using immediately.
Step 7
Heat a pan over medium heat. Spread the vegan butter on both sides of each bread slice.
Step 8
Place the bread slices in the pan and toast until golden brown on both sides.
Step 9
Remove the toasted bread from the pan. Spread a generous amount of the dairy-free kaya on two slices.
Step 10
Top each kaya-coated slice with the remaining toasted bread slices.
Step 11
Slice the kaya toast diagonally, if desired, and serve immediately.
