Ingredients
Scale
1 prepared 9-inch pie crust
2 cups mashed ube (purple yam)
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the prepared pie crust on a baking sheet.
In a large bowl, combine the mashed ube, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt.
Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour the ube filling into the pie crust.
Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Notes
You can use fresh ube that has been boiled and mashed, or frozen mashed ube.
For a smoother filling, you can strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring it into the crust.
Ube extract can be added for a more intense purple color and flavor, but adjust to your taste.
