Purple Halloween: 3 ube recipes for a bewitching feast
This Halloween, you don't need a dubious dye for a table that wows. Ube, the purple yam from the Philippines, brings a spectacular, 100% natural purple. Here are three bewitching recipes, from drink to dessert, to impress your guests without ever cheating. One spoonful of powder is all it takes each time.
The violet potion
A hot drink in a hypnotic purple, served like a real potion. Heat your milk, whisk in a spoonful of ube, and watch the colour flood the cup. A little latte art, and the spell is cast. The step-by-step recipe is in our ube latte.
The frozen ghost
An ube ice cream in an unreal purple, topped with a little whipped-cream ghost with chocolate eyes. Blend frozen bananas with a spoonful of ube for a creamy nice cream, serve in a coupe and add your ghost. The dessert that makes kids scream, with joy. Recipe: our ube ice cream.
Bewitched pancakes
A stack of purple pancakes, drizzled with syrup, for a Halloween brunch to remember. Add one or two spoonfuls of ube to your usual batter: the colour does all the show, without changing the taste kids love. Recipe: our ube pancakes.
The purple comes only from ube, never from a dye. The powder is a single ingredient, with no added sugar and naturally caffeine-free: perfect to delight kids and grown-ups, even on Halloween night.
