Ube halaya is a sweet and creamy Filipino dessert made with grated or mashed ube, a type of purple yam. It is popular among Tagalog people in Luzon and can be found elsewhere too.
This recipe is dairy-free and uses coconut milk. It is best chilled and can even be turned into ice cream. Ube halaya makes a great topping for halo-halo. It makes a good sweet treat on its own too.
