• 500g purple yam (ube), boiled and grated, or 250g frozen ube purée
• 400ml coconut milk
• 400g tin condensed milk
• 100g butter
• 1 tsp vanilla

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Boil and mash the ube until completely smooth, or thaw the frozen purée.
2. Melt the butter in a heavy pan, add the ube and cook 5 min.
3. Add the coconut milk and condensed milk and stir.
4. Now stir. Continuously, over low heat, for 40 minutes. It thickens slowly and will catch and scorch the moment you wander off.
5. It is ready when a spoon dragged through leaves a clean line that holds.
6. Pack into a jar while hot and brush the top with butter. Eaten by the spoonful, or used in halo-halo and ice cream.
