Can I make this ice cream without an ice cream maker?

Yes! This recipe is no-churn, which means you don’t need any special equipment. Whipped cream gives the ice cream its airy texture.

What’s the difference between ube halaya and ube jam?

They’re essentially the same. Both refer to a sweet, mashed purple yam dessert base, though texture may vary slightly depending on the recipe.

Can I use ube extract instead of fresh or frozen ube?

Absolutely. A few drops of ube extract can boost both flavor and color, especially if you can’t find halaya.

How long does homemade ube ice cream last?

Stored properly in an airtight container, it will keep for up to two weeks in the freezer.

Is this recipe dairy-free?

Not as written, but you can substitute coconut cream for heavy cream and condensed coconut milk for the sweetened condensed milk.

What’s the best way to serve ube ice cream?

It’s delicious on its own, but also pairs beautifully with halo-halo, brownies, or even crispy treats like our Strawberry Cheesecake Eggrolls .
