- Kaya Coconut Jam
Stir together coconut cream, granulated and palm sugars in medium, heavy-bottomed sauce pan.
Cook on medium heat, stirring continuously, until sugar is melted.
Beat egg yolks in separate bowl until smooth; stir constantly and slowly drizzle a small amount of coconut cream mixture to temper the yolks.
Continue slowly adding small amounts of coconut cream mixture while constantly stirring until fully combined; pour mixture back into saucepan.
Cook on low to medium low heat, stirring constantly until mixture is thick (approx. 8-10 minutes). DO NOT allow to boil.
Remove pan from heat and cool completely under refrigeration (approx. 2-3 hours); place in airtight container and store for up to 1 week in cooler if desired.

Slice thawed dough in half cross-wise, then fold narrow end under wider end and pinch together to seal.

Let dough proof on open rack at room temperature until double in size (approx. 2 hours) then bake as directed below.

Recipe Tips
