Easy Ube Pie

Every winter holiday season I get excited for all the foods. In particular I look forward to pumpkin pie! Whether homemade or purchased from the local wholesale club superstore, I can’t resist a slice of hot pumpkin pie. But this isn’t a pumpkin pie recipe. It’s an ube pie recipe! Pumpkin pie is pretty easy to make. There are numerous mixes and premade fillings that really aren’t much more than pumpkin puree and a few spices. Knowing this, I figured I could make an ube pie in the same manner since I always have grated ube stocked in my freezer. You can find it in any Filipino supermarket and in many Asian supermarkets. Vietnamese and Chinese are your best bets if you don’t have a Filipino supermarket close by. I looked up pumpkin pie recipes and found this one from All Recipes. I modified the baking instructions as well as the ingredients of course! Make sure to read the Making a Pie Crust section on this post because my ube pie recipe assumes you already have a pie crust.

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Step 2

Mix together grated ube, condensed milk, and eggs. When well mixed, add pumpkin pie spice, salt, and a dash of ube extract for color. Feel free to add the ube extract slowly until you reach your desired color.

Step 3

Pour the mixture into your par-baked pie crust and place in oven. Bake for 55-60 minutes

Step 4

Remove from oven and let cool. Serve and enjoy!
