Pumpkin Kaya Jam

I love kaya jam. The only reservation is the high calorie LOL
This is a healthier version of kaya jam using pumpkin as the main ingredient
Love it! So delicious eaten with toast :)





There are a few recipes I'd like to try. I chose the recipe from HERE as this is the easiest and fastest among all
Somehow mine was not brown enough, it's more to yellowish - which I do not mind, as the taste conquers all :)

What you need:

500g pumpkin, steamed and mashed
300g coconut milk
180g brown sugar
2 tbsp custard powder
1/2 tsp salt
4 pcs of pandan leaves

Method:

  1. Mix coconut milk, sugar, custard powder, salt and then add in to the mashed pumpkin. Stir well and sieve (I used my blender to do the job)
  2. In a non stick pot, pour the pumpkin mixture and cook over low heat. Add in pandan leaves. Cook and stir constantly until the mixture thickened, about 15mins
  3. Remove pandan leaves and let the mixture to cool. Keep in the sterilized jar and chill in the fridge
