Indulge in a Filipino treat with this vibrant ube halaya made from purple yam.
Ingredients:
  • 4.5 pounds ube (purple yams), peeled
  • 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 0.25 cup butter
Instructions:
  • In a large pot, boil water and cook yams until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and cool for another 20 minutes. Grate the yams back into the pot.
  • Combine coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, evaporated milk, butter, and vanilla extract in a pot over low heat. Stir constantly for about 20 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes sticky. It should be ready when a small ball forms when dropped into room-temperature water.
  • Pour the mixture into greased molds and refrigerate until firm, approximately 30 minutes.
