Ube (pronounced oo-bae) is a sweet purple yam native to the Philippines. It's known for its deep purple color and used in drinks and desserts!
Ube or purple yam can be difficult to find in its raw form, but we got lucky and sourced fresh ube for this recipe! You can use purple sweet potato as an alternative to ube if you’d like.
Ingredients
- 2 cups ube/purple yam (steamed and mashed)
- 1 banana
- 1 cup almond milk (or plant milk of choice)
- ¼ cup agave
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- Coconut shavings
Serves 4.
Product Needed
Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer, assembled with the sorbet strainer.
Directions
- Slice your ubes in half lengthwise and steam until soft, about 30 minutes.
- Peel the steamed ube, then mash it with a masher or fork.
- In a bowl, combine the mashed ube with almond milk, agave, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Use a mixer or blender if necessary.
- Scoop the mixture into ice trays and freeze until solid.
- Freeze your banana.
- Thaw the cubes and banana for 10 minutes before use.
- If using the AUTO10, place the cubes and banana in the hopper; for the REVO830, insert one portion at a time. Keep the smart cap open.
- Scoop the sorbet into bowls, top with coconut shavings, and enjoy!
Tips
- You can make plant milk using the juicing strainer on your Kuvings!
- Instead of steaming, you can also boil your ube. Ube can’t be consumed raw.
