Halayang Ube

Halayang ube is a dessert made from boiled mashed ube (purple yam) mixed with coconut milk, evaporated milk, and sugar. In the olden days, a fine consistency was achieved by passing the mixture through a piece of sinamay. With its bright color, it is a favorite at fiestas. Also, it is typically served during Christmas season.






Ingredients:

1 kilo ube yam root
1 can or 14 ounces evaporated milk
2 cans or 12 ounces condensed milk
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla (optional)


Cooking Procedures:

1. In a pot, boil the unpeeled ube yam in water. Let it simmer for 30 minutes. Drain and let cool.
2. Peel and finely grate the ube yam. You can also cut the ube yam into cubes then use a blender to grind it.
3. Heat a big wok in medium heat. Melt butter or margarine before adding the condensed milk and vanilla flavoring. Mix well.
4. Add the 1 kilo grated ube yam then adjust the heat to low.
5. Keep on mixing the ingredients for about 30 minutes until sticky and a bit dry yet moist.
6. Add the evaporated milk and continue to mix for another 15 minutes.
7. Let cool and place on a large platter.
8. Refrigerate before serving the halayang ube.
