Kaya ~ Coconut Egg Jam

I’m a kaya lover and can eat kaya straight from the jar… keke… one of the main reasons why I bought the breadmaker was that it could make Jams !!!

Last night, I finally made a batch of kaya that looked decent and tasted not overly sweet… and it is this simple to make :

• 8 medium size eggs
• 280g fine sugar
• 300ml coconut cream

Mix the ingredients together and put into the breadmaker to cook. Ta da!! the jam was ready in 1+ hour. Put the jam in the blender, puree it and the lumpy watery jam turns into smooth creamy kaya with a light green yellow tinge. Scoop the kaya into dry clean glass jars and let it cool before capping and storing in the refridgerator.

Tastes absolutely yummy with olive spread on white bread

My hubby thinks that our maid has a very good life… coz her Madam bakes bread and cooks kaya for her breakfast wor…bo bian.. I need a guinea pig!!

Manual method :

• Whisk the egg mixture evenly (I held Pi Pi's hand to whisk the eggs and she was absolutely elated that she was finally "COOKING with mummy")
• Stir the sugar into the coconut cream over a pan of boiling water until the sugar melts and the mixture is hot.
• Stream the egg mixture slowly into the hot coconut cream and stir continuously over heat until the mixture curdles and thickens.
• Remove from heat and blend the jam into a smooth creamy texture. :)
