  6. Add the caster sugar and mix.
  7. Boil over low heat for 1 hour to 1h30, while stirring regularly.
  8. Add palm sugar when the kaya starts to thicken.

Toasts
  1. Toast the slices of bread in a toaster, in the oven, or on a hot plate.
  2. Generously spread coconut jam (kaya) on half of the toast.
