Ube Pudding

This Ube Pudding isn’t just celebrating the color purple but significantly, purple yam’s beauty in every bite.

Many of the unacquainted will always wonder what’s with this passion for ube. I believe it is the deep and imposing color that is synonymous with royalty that draws people in. It is hard to define its flavor. It is earthy with a sweet buttery aroma. When combined with dairy products, the flavor comes to life!

This ube pudding is so easy to make, and such an elegant treat to serve. I hope you enjoy making, and eating this dish.
