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

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

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.

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

Kale Chips
This is an easy recipe for kale chips. The leaves are massaged with olive oil then seasoned with vinegar and baked until crispy, crunchy, and delicious! I used Spanish sherry vinegar, but any vinegar you like the flavor of will work. I checked every 10 minutes or so and turned some pieces over. I didn't mind if there were a few softer parts on some of the kale leaves, I liked the combination of crisp and softer parts.
