Ube Halayang

By Janet-2

Ingredients

• 1 kilo ube yam root
• 1 can (14 ounces) evaporated milk or coconut milk
• 2 cans (12 ounces) condensed milk
• 1/2 cup butter or margarine
• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

On a pot, boil the unpeeled ube yam in water and simmer for 30 minutes. Drain and let cool. Peel and finely grate the ube yam.

Heat a big wok in medium heat. Melt butter or margarine, add the condensed milk and vanilla flavoring. Mix well.

Add the 1 kilo grated ube yam or powdered ube. If using the powdered version, mix the powder and liquids together. Adjust the heat to low and simmer. Stir constantly.

Keep on mixing the ingredients for about 30 minutes or until sticky and a bit dry (but still moist). Add the evaporated milk and continue to mix for another 15 minutes.

Let cool and place on a large platter.

Refrigerate before serving the halayang ube.
