Ingredients:
500g ube powder pack
2 liters of water
10g vanilla essence
50g margarine
50g unsalted butter
4 cans of condensed milk
Instructions:
In a large pot of water over medium heat, combine the ube powder, vanilla essence, and condensed milk.
Stir the mixture constantly to prevent it from sticking. Cook for about 30-40 minutes or until the mixture thickens and your desired consistency is reached.
Once the mixture thickened, remove the pot from heat. Add the margarine and butter, then transfer the mixture to a greased dish or mold, spreading it evenly.
Allow it to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate until firm. This is best served chilled.
