Traditional recipes from the Philippines, where ube comes from.
Ube powder is dried, finely milled purple yam. It keeps for months in the pantry and gives you real ube flavor and color in seconds. New to ube? Start with our guide: what is ube?
For drinks and creams, whisk the powder with a little hot water or milk into a smooth paste before adding the rest of the liquid. It prevents lumps and blooms the color.
| Color you want | Ube powder per cup of batter |
|---|---|
| Light lavender | 1 tsp |
| Medium violet | 1 tbsp |
| Deep purple | 2–3 tbsp |
| Fresh ube (cooked & mashed) | Ube powder | Liquid to add |
|---|---|---|
| ½ cup | 2 tbsp | 3 tbsp water or milk |
| 1 cup | ¼ cup | ⅓ cup water or milk |
| 2 cups | ½ cup | ⅔ cup water or milk |
Ube’s natural pigments are pH-sensitive. Baking soda can turn ube bakes blue-green; use baking powder, or add ½ tsp cream of tartar per batch.
Unsweetened ube loves coconut milk, condensed milk, vanilla, white chocolate, matcha and a pinch of salt.
