Ube for ice cream makers
Cold locks in ube's purple and brings out its vanilla taste. Ice creams, sorbets, soft serve and milkshakes become signature creations, as striking in the display case as on social media.
The flavour where ube shines brightest
Ice cream is arguably the best home for ube. Cold preserves its natural purple in full intensity, with no cooking to dull it. The soft, vanilla taste marries with cream, and the colour makes a scoop of ube a flavour people notice and photograph. In the Philippines, ube ice cream is a national classic.
In halo-halo, the Philippines' iconic frozen dessert, ube ice cream often sits right on top. A whole heritage to draw on.
Ice creams, sorbets and beyond
A single powder covers the whole frozen display:
- Ube ice cream, on a cream or milk base, the great classic.
- Ube sorbet, lighter, vegan, with a vivid colour.
- Purple soft serve, very eye-catching, ideal for takeaway.
- Milkshakes and affogato, indulgent and high-margin.
- Frozen logs and desserts for peak seasons.
Stir the powder into the warm liquid base before maturing, then blend for a perfectly even colour. Adjust the dose to the purple you want.
