Ingredients
- 450 g frozen boiled and grated ube (purple yam)*, thawed
- 375 ml (1½ cups) milk
- 165 g (¾ cup) caster sugar
Instructions
Place ube, milk and sugar in a saucepan over low heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 25 minutes or until mixture is reduced and thickened. It should be a sticky paste, but not completely dry. Transfer to a food processor and process until smooth; be careful of the steam. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Note
• Frozen ube is available from Filipino food shops.
