Ube Halaya (jam)

🍮 Ube Halaya (Purple Yam Jam) 💜


Thick, rich, and oh so satisfying, Ube Halaya is a traditional Filipino dessert that’s basically a hug in a spoon. Serve it cold, top it on toast, or eat it straight from the jar 😋

 

🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need:

 

  • 💜 225g Ube Lab's Powder

  • 🥥 1 can (400ml) regular coconut milk

  • 🥫 1 can (300ml) sweetened condensed milk

  • 🍚 1/2 cup sugar

  • 🧈 1 tbsp butter

  • 🌿 1 tsp vanilla extract or real vanilla paste

  • 🥛 3/4 cup water or milk (any kind!)

 

🍳 Let’s Get Cooking:

 

1.Coconut base first 🥥

In a large non-stick pan, pour in the coconut milk and bring it to a gentle simmer.

 

2.Sweeten it up 🍬

Stir in the sugar and simmer until the mixture starts to thicken (around 10 mins). Stir often, it’s all about the love. ❤️

 

3.Add condensed magic 🥫

Pour in the condensed milk, stirring constantly until it thickens even more (~3 mins).

 

4.Butter + vanilla = flavor bomb 💣

Drop in the butter and vanilla extract, stir until it’s smooth and fragrant. ✨

 

5.Bring on the purple 💜

Lower the heat and gently stir in the Ube Powder. Cook and stir for another 5 minutes, scraping the bottom often to prevent burning.

 

6.Make it silky 💧

Add 3/4 cup of your choice: water, milk, or even more coconut milk. Stir it in gently.

 

7.Slow cook the love 🔥

Keep it on low heat and cook for 30–45 minutes, stirring often. It should become thick, like pudding or jam.

 

8.Smooth operator time 🤖

Use a handheld immersion blender to get that velvety, dreamy texture. So satisfying.

 

9.Cool it down ❄️

Pour your Ube Halaya into a container, smooth the top, cover it tightly (no air, please!), and refrigerate until fully chilled.

 

10.Serve & swoon 🍽️

Enjoy your homemade Ube Halaya cold, straight from the fridge. Perfect as-is or spread on your favorite baked goodies. 🥖🧁

 

🧊 Storage Tip:

Keep refrigerated and consume within a week (but let’s be honest—it won’t last that long 😍).
