Inspired by all the ube experimentation, I decided to attempt my Tita Lorna’s ube halaya recipe, among my favorite treats when I was growing up. “In the Philippines, ube flavor is used how vanilla is used in the U.S.” “I imagined that adding a floral component to the ube complement its nuttier flavor profile, and the combination was better than I imagined,” Ms. She tops her ube pie with a dollop of chamomile whipped cream. Thessa Diadem, pastry director at All Day Baby and Here’s Looking at You in Los Angeles, makes ube cookies with caramelized white chocolate, marshmallow and coconut. On April 30, the Marley’s Treats food truck will roll up to the Ube Fest in San Francisco’s District Six with ube cupcakes and macarons, ube frozen treats and more. The bakery’s popular “finkle,” an ube crinkle cookie, comes filled with a caramelly leche flan. “We’ve tried ube with everything,” said Gemma Ballesteros, founder and owner of Marley’s Treats in Hayward, Calif., including horchata, Oreo cookies and the tropical leaf pandan.
