Easy Ube Coconut Cream Treat
A simple, no-bake Filipino-inspired dessert featuring the vibrant purple yam, ube, beautifully blended with creamy coconut and sweet condensed milk for an irresistible treat.
Ingredients
- 1 can full-fat coconut cream chilled (13.5 oz / 400ml)
- 0.5 cup sweetened condensed milk chilled
- 1 tablespoon ube extract or to taste
Instructions
- 1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chilled full-fat coconut cream, sweetened condensed milk, and ube extract.
- 2. Whisk the mixture vigorously until all ingredients are well combined and smooth, ensuring the ube extract is evenly distributed to achieve a uniform vibrant purple color.
- 3. Taste the mixture and adjust the amount of ube extract if you desire a stronger ube flavor or a more intense purple hue.
- 4. Pour the mixture into individual serving dishes, ramekins, or a larger dessert container.
- 5. Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 2-4 hours, or preferably overnight, until it is firm and well-set.
- 6. Serve cold, garnished with your favorite toppings such as toasted coconut flakes, a sprig of mint, or fresh fruit.
Notes
For a thicker consistency, ensure coconut cream is well-chilled before mixing and allow for longer refrigeration time. Serve with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes, a dollop of whipped cream, or fresh berries. Adjust ube extract amount to achieve your desired color and flavor intensity. This mixture can also be frozen for a delightful ube ice cream-like dessert.
