Hi! I just made it and I can’t wait to try it tomorrow! I made the cheesecake batter and divided it into two bowls. Then I added my Ube extract and Ube Himalaya to one bowl. Then added the Ube filling with the other batter to make it a swirl when it bakes. Looks so pretty and can’t wait to try it!

[@cookingwithkurt]

Hi Britney - thanks for your comment! How did it turn out? 😊💜

[@britneyngo8776]

@@cookingwithkurt it turned out very pretty! The swirl of purple and white is so pretty. The only thing is that the crust was stuck to the pan. so I might have pressed it down too hard and maybe I need to precook the crust. Do you have any suggestions on that? Also the Ube taste wasent really strong enough sadly. I put the exact amounts in the recipe but i never really tasted the Ube. It was a very good recipe for normal cheesecake tho. Maybe the extract I use was not good? I’m not sure.

[@cookingwithkurt]

@@britneyngo8776 For the crust, the “trick” is to pat it down just enough so the crumbs stick together, but not too firmly so the crust doesn’t become hard and stuck to the pan. For a stronger ube flavor, you can add more ube extract, but this might affect the color as well. I use McCormick brand ube extract. Hope this helps! 😊

Hi both, I’m very grateful for this video. I’m new to baking so this is the recipe I’m starting out with. So I made this cake yesterday and left it in the fridge to chill.

Also the top of the cake ended up a bit brown instead of the luscious purple. Any advice would be appreciated

Hi Kurt! I just wanna know, since I dont have Ube Halaya, can I use Ube Flavour instead? That being said, may I know how many tbsp do I need to add, then? Thank you in advance for the reply 😊😊

[@cookingwithkurt]

Hello - if ube halaya is not available, you can leave it out and just rely on the ube extract for the ube flavor in the cake - the majority of the ube flavor in this cake comes from the concentrated ube flavor in the ube extract. Ube powder can be used as a substitute for ube halaya if ube halaya is not available - by reconstituting the ube powder in hot water (per packet instructions) making a paste, and adding 1/4 a cup of that paste to the cheesecake batter just like with the ube halaya. Hope this helps! :)

[@chadchiaverini5591]

will the cake still have an ube taste if i’m not able to get ube extract ? would it help to just use more halaya as a substitute for the extract.

[@cookingwithkurt]

Hi Chad - if ube extract is not available, you can either leave it out (will not affect the cheesecake's' texture). Or substitute using vanilla extract. The cake won't have as strong an ube flavor since most of the ube flavor comes from the ube extract. But it will still be delicious with a subtle ube flavor from the ube halaya. Unfortunately, in my experience, ube extract is the only thing that creates that strong ube flavor, without affecting the light and airy texture of the cheesecake. Adding too much ube halaya would make the cheesecake a lot heavier. Hope this helps! :)

Hello - I’ve never personally tried that so I’m not sure. The waterbath method may not be ideal for 4 inch spring form pans as the pans + batter may not be heavy enough to be weighed down and may float in the water. Mini cheesecakes are probably fine without a water bath. Hope this helps! 😊

Jesus Christ died for the sins of the world. He died for the people that you hate, the people that are neglected daily, the people that are abusing drugs, murderers, thieves, homosexuals, people that cheat on their partners, people that falsely accuse others, and more. He died knowing that most will reject Him, but He still gave His blood for those people too. Jesus is the only way to heaven. Anything else is a deception. The same man that was nailed to a cross, with a crown of thorns forced onto His head, after being terribly wipped, was thinking of you. With Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, He finished all the religious works. Our works can no longer get ourselves into heaven. It is all by Jesus' grace and mercy, which we can all receive. If you humble yourselve before the living God and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, you will be saved from hell.
