Ube Kalamay

Ingredients:

2 packs frozen ube
1 box mochiko (sweet rice flour)
4 cups white sugar
2 cans coconut milk
1 tsp vanilla
banana leaves
latik (cook coconut milk slowly until all oil is extracted and latik is formed)

How to make ube kalamay

• Thaw frozen ube. Make latik. Wilt each banana leaf then brush with coconut oil.
• In large wok, mix thawed ube with coconut milk, mochiko, sugar, vanilla and a little coconut oil.
• Stir while cooking. (Put more coconut oil by tablespoonfuls if needed to prevent sticking.)
• Keep stirring until mixture is very thick. Put in pan lined with wilted banana leaves.
• Flatten batter by hand using a piece of oiled banana leaf.
• If you don’t feel like stirring for a long time, you may put slightly thickened mixture in baking pan and bake in 350°F oven 15 to 20 minutes.
• Cool and score prepared ube in diagonal shapes and put latik on top.
