Ube Is The Latest Instagram Food Trend You Need To Try
These lavender desserts are just lovely.
This is a purple yam (aka ube)
Ube has been used in Filipino cooking for ages. It's even sweeter than a sweet potato, which makes it perfect for creating beautifully delicious desserts.
It's is extremely versatile and can be incorporated into recipes by blending it alone in a food processor, breaking it down in sweetened condensed milk or other mixtures, or using pre-made ube jam.
No matter how you choose to prepare it, the signature purple color will be there—and TBH, that's really what counts, right?
It's definitely what counts for the Instagram game, which is where most people have been introduced to ube.
It's been used in all kinds of desserts.
From rice ube krispie treats
to ice cream sandwiches
and beautiful bite-sized cheesecakes.
Really, you can make ube into just about anything.
You can even get away with eating it for breakfast.
Or drinking it—because ube is that versatile.
And if all those desserts didn't convince you to stock up on this pretty purple yam and jump on the ube Instagram-wagon, I don't know what will.
