The known flavor profile of Ube is actually based on Ube Halaya. It is a very traditional mashed Ube recipe that is cooked down with coconut milk and sugar. Ube Halaya is the basis of many of the recipes you see in blogs and bakeries all over the world.

Don't be afraid to experiment with Ube! You can make tortilla wrappers, dumplings, focaccia and many other non sweet recipes with it. Just make sure you are using real ube. If you are replacing it with a purple sweet potato, the recipe can no longer be called ube. It must be called Kamote, which is sweet potato in Tagalog.
