Vegan Kaya (Eggless Pandan Coconut Jam)
Report
Nyonya kaya is a creamy coconut jam from Southeast Asia. This vegan pandan kaya is rich, sweet, and addictive. Spread it on toast, or eat by the spoonful!

Ingredients

Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a powerful blender (see Note 2). Blend on high speed for 1 minute, or until extremely smooth with no flecks of green pandan visible. Stop to scrape down the sides as needed.
- Pour the blended mixture into a small saucepan and set it on medium heat.
- Stir constantly for 25–35 minutes (shorter time for a thinner, syrupy consistency, longer time for more paste-like). As the kaya thickens, you need to gradually turn down the heat to prevent over-bubbling. I typically start on medium heat and end up on the lowest heat setting by the end of cooking.
- Turn off the stove and transfer the kaya to a container. The kaya will thicken further as it cools. Chill fully before using.

Notes
- If you don’t have coconut cream, you can refrigerate a can of full-fat coconut milk overnight. The cream will accumulate to the top and solidify as it chills. The next day, scoop out the top half to use in this recipe.
- For best results, use a powerful blender, something like a Blendtec or Vitamix, and blend for at least 1 minute to get it super suuuper smooth. Otherwise you might find stringy little pandan leaf fibers in your kaya. If you don’t have a strong blender, I recommend to first make Strained Pandan Extract (this involves an overnight wait), then use 2 tbsp of the concentrated extract in this recipe instead of whole pandan leaves.
