What is
ube ice cream?
Meet the purple yam behind a familiar Filipino dessert flavor. A little sweet, a little nutty, and full of character.
It starts with a purple yam.
Ube is a purple yam used in Filipino desserts. In ice cream, its gently sweet, nutty flavor pairs with a creamy texture.
Its purple color is memorable, but flavor is the reason to try it. If you enjoy creamy desserts and want to explore something beyond vanilla, ube is a good place to start.
Ube and taro are different ingredients.
Ube is a purple yam. Taro is a different root used in many Asian desserts and drinks, with a milder flavor. A purple dessert is not always made with ube, so ask about the ingredients when you are curious.
