Purple Dessert Glass
Layers alternating intense purple and pearly white, a hidden crunch, a spoon that cuts through the tiers: the Purple Dessert Glass is our signature verrine.
Elegant, no-bake, ready to impress.
The layered dessert that plays on purple
The Purple Dessert Glass layers up our favourite elements from the ube universe.
A layer of intense ube halaya, a light, vanilla-scented whipped cream, biscuit shards for the crunch: every spoonful runs through the textures and colours. A plating dessert, no-bake, that comes together in a few minutes and is savoured with the eyes first.
Our signature verrine showcases ube halaya in contrasting layers with cream and crunch: an exclusive plating dessert.

A beautiful verrine is all about clean layers.
Use a piping bag to lay down the whipped cream and the halaya without smearing the glass walls. A cold, firm halaya holds the tiers better. Add the biscuits at the last moment to keep their crunch.
Build the verrines in fine, clear glasses: the purple layers are meant to be seen.
