https://youtu.be/WS-B-m_s840 I have a bad (or is it?) habit of making a whole lot of ube halaya whenever I am required to make ube, for any ube recipe. The result is that I try to make as many desserts with ube as possible. Lately, it's been ube cakes, deep-fried ube hand-pies, and now mini cheesecakes.…
It's been a while since I did some recipe development and recipe writing. I have been quite busy this month as I usually am around this time of year because my birthday is mid-October, two weeks later it's my fiancés birthday, and two weeks after that it's our anniversary.

I keep seeing photos of this luscious pudding when I scroll down instagram, and…
