Directions
Prepare the Ube: If using fresh ube, boil until soft, then peel and grate. If using frozen, thaw and grate.
Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, mix the grated ube, coconut milk, condensed milk, sugar, butter, salt, and vanilla extract. Over medium heat, cook the mixture while stirring continuously. This prevents sticking and ensures even cooking. Cook until thickened (about 30-40 minutes).
Once thickened, pour the mixture into a greased mold or serving dish, smoothing the top. Allow to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate until set. Serve chilled or at room temperature, optionally topped with grated coconut or a drizzle of condensed milk.
