Halaya is a popular Filipino dessert recipe served on mostly every occasion, especially during fiesta and Christmas. It’s one of the all-time-favorite desserts of Filipinos here and abroad. Ingredients are very basic. The cooking part — continuously stirring from start to finish — is the hardest and can be quite exhausting.
Recipe #1 Ingredients:
- 1 kilo ube, boiled and grated
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 2 cups evaporated milk
- 1 ¼ cups sugar
- butter for greasing
Procedure
- In a thick-bottomed pan, combine grated ube, coconut milk, evaporated milk and sugar.
- Cook over medium fire until very thick.
- Stir constantly to prevent sticking.
- Mold in greased pans. Cool.
Recipe #2 Ingredients:
- 2 lb ube (purple yam) (you can also buy powdered ube from Asian stores)
- 250 g sugar
- 1 cup sugar (or as desired)
- 1 can condensed milk
- 2 cups coconut milk
- butter
Procedure
Boil yam until tender and cut into cubes, then grind in a food processor with sugar and coconut milk (if you have the powdered variety, mix ingredients). Transfer to a sauce pan, add the condensed milk (if starting from fresh) and cook over a low fire, stirring continuously. Continue stirring until the mixture turns into a thick paste and separates from the pan. Transfer to a shallow platter or pan and allow to cool. Serve.
