Step 1

In a heated pot (medium to high heat), combine powdered purple yam packets with water and stir.

Step 2

Then add in condensed milk and evaporated milk - continue stirring to prevent from burning at the bottom.

Step 3

Add the ube flavor extract and keep stirring until the consistency thickens.

Step 4

After 30 minutes of stirring, add in the butter.

Step 5

Within an hour, you should have a thick consistency (shown in video). You can stop there or if you want it thicker, keep mixing until thick enough to mold into shape.

Step 6

Place in a pan/container (lightly coated with butter) and enjoy your delicious ube halaya while it is warm or place it the fridge for a few hours and serve when it is cold! It can be eaten plain, as a jam, or mix in halo-halo!
