Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• Ube (Purple Yam): Look for fresh or frozen ube; the richer the color, the better the flavor.
• Cream Cheese: Softened cream cheese ensures a smooth batter; don’t skip this step!
• Sour Cream: Adds tanginess and moisture; full-fat gives the best results.
• Granulated Sugar: Sweetens the cheesecake perfectly; adjust based on your taste preferences.
• Butter: Use unsalted butter for the crust; it enhances richness without overwhelming flavors.
• Graham Cracker Crumbs: For an easy-to-make crust; feel free to substitute with digestive biscuits.
• Eggs: Room temperature eggs blend seamlessly into the batter for a fluffy texture.
• Vanilla Extract: Enhances sweetness and depth; use pure extract if possible for maximum flavor.

Let’s Make It Together

Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients listed above. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) while you set up your workspace.

Create the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well mixed. Press firmly into a springform pan to create an even layer.

Make the Filling: In another bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Gradually add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Add Ube Goodness!: Fold in mashed ube and sour cream until fully combined. The mixture should be vibrant purple with a creamy texture that makes you want to dive right in!

Bake to Perfection: Pour the filling over your prepared crust in the springform pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until slightly jiggly in the center but set around the edges.

Cool Down Time!: Allow your creamy ube cheesecake to cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

Enjoy each bite of this deliciously unique dessert! The combination of flavors and textures will transport you straight to dessert heaven with every forkful!

Perfecting the Cooking Process

To achieve the best results, start by preparing the crust while the oven preheats, then blend your filling ingredients before pouring them over the crust.
