Ube Sweetened Condensed Milk

Level up your Vietnamese iced coffee with this ube sweetened condensed milk!

We're no strangers here to a good Ube Iced Latte, but this time we're switching it up by infusing our sweetened condensed milk with a touch of ube extract.

Ube is a purple yam, most commonly known for it's popularity in Filipino desserts. The extract lends a vibrant, purple color to the condensed milk and adds a nutty, vanilla-like flavor.

Add a squeeze of this ube sweetened condensed milk straight to your cup before brewing or dissolve it into some milk before pouring it over the top of your Vietnamese coffee!

What you'll need

2 cups of milk (full fat or low fat)
⅔ cup of granulated sugar
1 tsp of ube extract

To a saucepan, add the milk and the sugar and simmer on low heat for 30-40 minutes. Once the sugar dissolves, avoid stirring the mixture until the liquid reduces by about half.

Remove from the heat and add in the ube extract, mixing well.

Let the condensed milk cool to room temperature and store it in a food-safe jar or container.

Optional - for an extra smooth finish, strain the sweetened condensed milk into your container using a fine-mesh sieve

Store in the fridge and enjoy!
