Ube Halaya Recipe (Vegan and Dairy Free) | Filipino Purple Yam Jam!

[@bonneythompson6714]

Thank you for this recipe! I have been looking for vegan alternatives for Ube halaya and this is perfect! I also was hoping to use agave syrup and was thrilled to see that was included! I have made a gluten free version of Ube crinkle cookies, but wanted to make a vegan alternative for family members. The GF Ube cookies are delicious, made with store bought Ube halaya....it has buttermilk in it, so a no-go for some folks. I am blessed to live in a multi-cultural area on the Big Island, I can easily obtain most ingredients!

Thank god for this recipe. I didn’t realize how much dairy was in regular ube halaya 😧

[@Jeanelleats]

YES! The original recipe is soooo difficult to stop eating, but always be mindful of the ingredients in what you're eating!

I love this! Been looking for ways to make vegan Filipino food and will definitely be trying this as a filling for a vegan buchi ball recipe 💓 you’re also super cute haha love your camera presence!

You are just so cute! Love your energy 🥰🥰🥰 salamat for the recipe!

I am happy to come across your channel and i observed that you are using healthier version/ingredients(like coconut oil, coconut sugar) which i do the same. Also, you make them simple and not too sweet. Thank you for sharing your cooking. I hope to see more and USING HEALTHIER INGREDIENTS....GOD BLESS...

[@Jeanelleats]

Ahh I'm so glad you enjoyed it! There are a ton of substitutions we can make to have healthier Filipino food, and I'd love to help other Filipinos use these ingredients.

Did you add salt or is it not needed? You have salt listed as one of the shopping items. If you did add it how much should we add?

[@peaceluvagstudios]

She added a pinch of salt

I ve been looking for a vegan ube layer cake recipe . Cant find any !!! Trying to come up with my own. Can I use this ube halaya somehow for a cake recipe? As a layer possibly ?

[@Jeanelleats]

Aga Agnieszka yes you can! It’ll be a little stiffer though if you stick it in the fridge - id day you can omit the oil so it doesn’t soak your cake

[@maartinee]

I’m not understanding why the consistency is different when it’s in the mason jar vs the tin pan ? How come it stays like a spreads consistency and it hardens when it’s in the pan ? Someone please help

[@Jeanelleats]

Hi Martine! For this recipe, the Ube halaya solidifies when it’s in colder temp. It also helps that I constantly churn the one in the jar to keep it spreadable while in room temp! If you’re talking about the Ube halaya you can buy in stores, it’s possibly the two different recipes and ways it’s used for. The one in the tin is created so that it can stay in that shape, easy to cut and eat as is. For the one in the jar, it’s for spreading on bread or adding it into another dessert recipe. If you’d like, you can add more liquid to the recipe in the tin to make it more spreadable! I hope this helps? Let me know if I can clarify!

Can I use monk fruit to sweeten it up instead of the maple or agave syrup?

[@Jeanelleats]

You can use any sugar alternative you want! just adjust to taste

[@angelicagenova9950]

Hi!!! Do you think I could use almond milk?

[@Jeanelleats]

Yes you can! I'd add it little by little though just in case it gets too liquidy!
