Ube is a purple yam that is popularly used in many Filipino desserts and breads. It is different from the purple potato or purple sweet potato. Sometimes, you can find the ube ingredient in a powder form to prepare and mix with your heart's desire of a treat!
These treats were created for my cousin who won a Facebook contest I threw together. I will not share my special secrets on this recipe, but he knows! LOL
The nice thing about the Ube Cake Pops is that they are not too sweet. I have a big sweet tooth, yet occasionally enjoy and appreciate mild sweet (if that makes sense.) Plus the purple color of the sprinkles I found on Etsy is really nice and bold. I, however, did not take pics of the inside of the cake pops itself which closely matches the color of the sprinkles. Next time, I'll remember!
So, if you are feeling a little ube, you can find Ube Mamon cakes, Ube Ice Cream, Ube crackers, Ube Cake, Ube breads, OH SO MANY yummy things in the Filipino Dessert aisle for ube! I liken it to a coconutty flavor, but that may be because it is many times mixed with a macapuno. Uh-oh, I'm craving! Ube Cake Pops! Yummsters! And Congrats, James!
