For an enhanced flavor, consider toasting the sesame seeds lightly before sprinkling them on top. This brings out their nutty aroma and adds a deeper layer of flavor. Ensure your coconut milk is full-fat for the richest flavor and creamiest texture. Shake the can well before measuring. If you prefer a less sweet Gau, reduce the amount of white sugar by ¼ cup. The baking time may vary depending on your oven. Keep a close eye on the Gau during the last 15 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
