Creamy Ube Butter Recipe
This vibrant, creamy ube butter captures the sweet, earthy essence of purple yam, blended with rich butter and a hint of ube extract. It's a delightful spread perfect for toast, pastries, or as a unique dessert topping, adding a touch of Filipino flavor to any dish.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar sifted
- 1 cup ube halaya (purple yam jam)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp ube extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with an electric mixer until it is smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar to the butter, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated and light and fluffy.
- Add the ube halaya, heavy cream, and ube extract to the butter mixture.
- Continue beating until all ingredients are well combined and the ube butter is smooth, fluffy, and vibrant purple in color.
- Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving for best spreadability.
Notes
Ensure butter is at room temperature for easy creaming. Adjust ube extract to your preferred flavor intensity. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Wonderful on pandesal, scones, or even as a filling for cakes.
