Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh or frozen ube (purple yam), peeled and cubed
- 1.5 cups Coconut cream
- 1 cup Coconut milk (full-fat)
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ube extract (optional, for enhanced color and flavor)
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel and cube the fresh ube if using fresh. If using frozen ube, ensure it is thawed before cooking.
Step 2
Steam or boil the ube cubes for 20-25 minutes until soft and easily mashable. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked ube, coconut cream, coconut milk, maple syrup (or agave nectar), vanilla extract, ube extract (if using), and a pinch of salt.
Step 4
Blend the mixture until completely smooth, ensuring no lumps remain. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
Step 5
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if desired by adding more maple syrup or agave nectar.
Step 6
Pour the ube mixture into an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld.
Step 7
Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This typically takes 20-25 minutes.
Step 8
Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and spread it evenly. Cover the surface with parchment paper or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Step 9
Freeze the ice cream for 2-4 hours until firm but scoopable.
Step 10
Serve in bowls or cones, and enjoy your creamy vegan ube ice cream!
