Here I've taken ube and made a delicate panna cotta that not only tastes divine, but is shockingly gorgeous too, thanks to its natural purple hue! Ube is a purple yam, a popular sweet treat in the Philippines that's made into jam, cookies, and more.

Ingredients

  • 1 ube (purple yam) , peeled
  • 1.5 cups whole milk , divided
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 0.5 cups white sugar
  • 1 package unflavored gelatin , .25 ounce

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add ube, cover, and steam until tender, about 20 minutes. Cool until easily handled, about 10 minutes. Purée ube in a blender or food processor, or thoroughly mash it by hand.

  2. 2

    Combine 1 cup puréed ube, 3/4 cup whole milk, coconut milk, and sugar in a blender or food processor; blend until completely smooth.

  3. 3

    Pour remaining 3/4 cup whole milk into a saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin on top and let stand for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Heat milk-gelatin mixture over medium-low heat, stirring until gelatin is dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in ube mixture and increase the heat to medium. Heat until steam starts to rise from the mixture, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Pour mixture into individual serving glasses or molds. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill until set, about 3 hours.
