Ube Biko


Description:
We brought home some ube or purple yam from our recent trip to Tagaytay, and after an afternoon of ginataan, I wanted to make an ube-based kakanin. This recipe is from pinoyrecipe.net. I found the ube biko to be sweet enough on its own so we didn't put any toppings, but I think macapuno would be great with this.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups ube, boiled and mashed (I used the water from boiling the ube in cooking the malagkit rice.)
3/4 cup condensed milk
1/2 cup fresh milk
1/4 kilo malagkit rice, cooked
Crushed panutsa and grated cheese for topping

(You may opt to put a teaspoon of ube flavoring to make the ube flavor more pronounced.)



Directions:
Combine ube, condensed milk, and fresh milk in a thick saucepan.
Cook, stirring constantly until slightly thick.
Add in malagkit and cook until thick.
Spread onto a banana leaf-lined bilao or tray.
Cut into squares when cool.
