  • Whoever said ube is just for desserts, clearly hasn’t met these genius purple yam creations

Ube pandesal has become a ube-quitous quarantine food. Forget banana bread, practically every budding online entrepreneur starts with that purple crusty bread filled either with velvety ube halaya or cheese—in some cases, both.

Now, we are not saying boycott these small businesses—we are all for supporting entrepreneurs. What we’re saying is: There’s a whole ube universe out there waiting to be explored. And with time on our hands, many home bakers, cooks and food brands are making uber-creative inventions with this humble tuber.

Let’s get to know these out-of-the-box ube creations, shall we?

Burnt ube cheesecake

It has the same velvety texture unique to the Basque dessert but with a distinct purple yam flavor.

Buko-ube pie hybrid

We know ube goes well with macapuno—a genetically-different young coconut—so it’s no surprise that buko pie with purple yam just makes delectable sense.

Ube cocktail

No, ube is not just for desserts, this ube-flavored concoction proves.

Ube turon

Now for a fried dessert, try this ube halaya-filled turon. Banana optional

Ube bibingka

We love kakanin so naturally this purple bibingka—with cheese, of course—makes it to this list.

Banana-ube bread

Don’t count banana bread out just yet as it still has tricks up its sleeve aka an ube filling

Ube sourdough

Even your beloved quarantine baking essential sourdough could use a little color—purple in this case

Ube brioche

Told you, there’s more to ube-flavored baked goods than ube pandesal

Ube Spanish bread

Another neighborhood bakery staple we love, now stuffed with halaya

Ube rolls

Move over, cinnamon rolls!

Coffee-crusted ube buns

Ube pairs well with coffee? Who knew?

Ube tapioca pearls

Perfect with ube milk tea

Ube creampuffs

If there’s an ube filling, we ain’t complaining

Ube brownies

It’s also vegan.

Ube lava pancakes

Purple pancakes just won’t cut it—make it rain with that ube sauce!

Ube pretzels

Again, knot complaining

Conclusion: Everything can be infused with ube and no one will complain
