咖椰（椰奶蛋果酱） Kaya(Coconut & Egg Jam)

Kaya is a coconut jam made from coconut milk, duck or chicken eggs which are flavored by pandan leaf and sweetened with sugar. 

 Kaya is sweet and creamy. 

The original color reflects the color of the yolks used in the making. It is sometimes available as a golden brown or green colored spread depending on the amount of pandan and extent of caramelization of the sugar.

 In Malaysia ,as a popular local jam, kaya is typically spread on toast to make kaya toast and eaten in the morning .

Kaya is also used as a topping for several desserts including kuih tatal(a dessert of sweet glutinous rice coloured blue with butterfly pea flowers (bunga telang)), and pulut seri muka, a similar dessert but coloured green with pandan leaves.
