Pro TipIf a recipe calls for it, use a food scale to weigh ingredients in grams for the best results! Use the options below to toggle between cups or grams.
Ingredients
- 115 grams Powdered Ube
- 600 grams Warm water
- 386 grams Vegan evaporated milk (or full-fat unsweetened coconut milk (canned))
- 1 ¼ cup Sweetened coconut condensed milk
- 30 grams Granulated sugar
- 1-2 teaspoon Ube extract ()
- 21 grams Vegan butter
- 1 cup Coconut cream (My favorite brand is Savoy)
Instructions
Ube Halaya
- In a pot, combine the powdered ube and water, and let it sit for 30 minutes to rehydrate. After 30 minutes, stir the mixture to incorporate the ube and water. Turn the heat to medium, and bring it up to a simmer.
- Next, add the vegan evaporated milk, vegan condensed milk, sugar, and ube extract. Mix to combine.
- Once the halayang ube starts to bubble, reduce the heat to medium-low. Continue to cook for 40-45 minutes. Stirring frequently, until it starts to boil down to a thicker consistency.
- Add in your butter, and continue to stir.
- The ube halaya will be done when the mixture is considerably thick and easily pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Pour your ube halaya into your greased containers or jars. Allow them to cool before serving! Enjoy!
Latik (Optional):
- Pour the coconut cream into a pot and bring it up to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Cook the coconut cream until the liquid starts to evaporate and the coconut solids start to form. Lower the heat to medium-low and continue to cook.
- Gently stir until the coconut curds start to turn golden brown. Drain the excess oil from the toasted coconut curds using a fine mesh sieve. Allow the coconut curds to cool before using.
Notes
- Dehydrated ube powder. Do not get the flavored ube powder, those are not the same. You are looking for dehydrated ube in powder form. You can order it from Amazon or on SayWeee!
- Store any leftover vegan ube halaya in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or up to 3 months in the freezer.
