Ube Halaya Recipe



Ube Halaya is a dessert made from puréed purple yam or “ube”. You’ll usually see ube halaya on top of a serving of Halo-Halo and inside a roll of an Ube-Macapuno cake. It is creamy, sticky and sweet which makes it an all time Filipino dessert.

Ingredients:



  • 900 grams purple yam (raw)
  • 1/2 cup of butter
  • 3 1/2 cups (28 oz) condensed milk
  • 3 cups (24 oz) evaporated milk
  • 1 cup cream cheese
  • Sugar (adjust according to your sweet tooth taste =D)
  • (Optional) purple food color- for color consistency 






Steps:

  • Boil the yam, mash it and turn it to a purée.
  • Heat a cooking pot and melt the butter in it.
  • Pour-in the evaporated milk, condensed milk and sugar, stir it well.
  • Add the purple yam in and continue stirring
  • Stir it occasionally to keep it from sticking until the mixture turns really thick which usually takes about 20 minutes under low fire.
  • Turn the heat off and add the cream cheese, mix well
  • Transfer it to Jars or Llaneras and let it cool down.
  • Chill it for about 2 hours and its ready to eat.
