Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked ube (purple yam) or ube powder
- 2 cups Full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup Coconut cream
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup or agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ube extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
If using fresh ube, steam or boil it until fully cooked and mash it into a smooth puree. If using ube powder, rehydrate it according to the package instructions and ensure it forms a smooth paste.
Step 2
In a blender, combine the mashed ube (or rehydrated ube powder), full-fat coconut milk, coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ube extract, and salt.
Step 3
Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy. If needed, stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Step 4
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or flavor by adding more maple syrup or ube extract if necessary.
Step 5
Pour the mixture into a deep, freezer-safe container. Cover it tightly with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Step 6
Place the container in the freezer and allow it to chill for 1 hour.
Step 7
After the first hour, remove the container from the freezer and stir the mixture with a fork or whisk to break up any ice crystals. Repeat this process every 30 minutes for 3-4 hours, until the ice cream is fully set and creamy.
Step 8
Alternatively, if you have an ice cream maker, pour the blended mixture into the ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional hour for a firmer texture.
Step 9
Once fully frozen, scoop and serve the ube ice cream as desired. Store any leftovers in the freezer for up to 1 week.
