Paano magluto ng Masarap na Ube Halaya
INGREDIENTS
500 grams purple yam, peeled and cubed
1 can condensed milk (390 grams)
½ cup white sugar
1 ½ cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS
In a pan, place the purple yam pieces. Add water to the pan, enough to cover the purple yam pieces. Turn the flame into high heat. Cover the pan and allow the purple yam pieces to boil until soft.
Poke the purple yam pieces to check if they are soft enough for mashing. Drain the water and let it cool.
Once cooled down, mash the boiled purple yam using a food processor or a blender. Add the coconut milk. Blend until smooth. Grab a large bowl and a strainer. Strain the blended purple yam to remove large bits to make the ube halaya smooth.
Place the ube mixture in a pan. Add the condensed milk. Add some white sugar depending on your sweetness preference. Mix well until fully combined. Heat the mixture under medium heat.
Cook the mixture while stirring continuously for around 20 minutes. As the mixture thickens, scrape the sides of the pan and to avoid the bottom part of the mixture from burning.
Continue cooking and stirring for about 15 minutes. An optional step, you can add butter or margarine and vanilla extract to the ube mixture. Mix until well-combined. Cook for a few minutes until the mixture is not sticking to the pan.
Transfer the ube mixture into molds or containers. Let the ube halaya cool down and set its shape. You can add some toppings before serving. Enjoy it!
