Serikaya

This is a recipe for serikaya, to be used as a spread for bread or

or as a spread to the salty cream crackers.

You need 3 eggs,


An equal amount of thick coconut milk, meaning without adding water.



an equal amount of sugar,


and some daun pandan.


So, altogether taken, this is what you need. I used the same cup to make

equal amounts.

As for the eggs, I measured them with the cup and put them into a

bigger cup. So, it looks a bit odd.


Combine the sugar and the eggs and stir it to dissolve the sugar.

I double the sugar and eggs by placing a pot over a deep pan.


Actually one needs to sieve the mixture but I didn't.

When sugar has dissolved, add the pandan leaves and coconut milk.

Stir the mixture until it is cooked.

It takes about one and a half hour.



In the process, caramelise a spoonful of sugar to give you a brown colour and

add it to the mixture.


This is the half finished product,


and the finished serikaya.


This is the amount you will get with the three eggs. It is not so smooth,

because I didn't sieve the mixture in the process earlier.



Happy cooking.
