Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (115g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 2 tbsp (30g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3–4 tbsp (45-60ml) ice water
  • 1 cup (240g) mashed ube (purple sweet potatoes)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter (or food processor) to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Mash the ube until smooth and whisk together with coconut milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using) in a bowl. Set aside.
  3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thick. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles slightly larger than the muffin tin cups.
  4. Press the dough circles into the muffin tin cups, forming small pie bases. Spoon the ube filling into each base, filling about 3/4 full.
  5. Place the muffin tin on a baking sheet and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is slightly set.
  6. Allow the pies to cool completely before gently removing them from the tin. Stack two pies on top of each other and secure with a dollop of whipped cream or cream cheese frosting in between.
  7. Add a sprinkle of shredded coconut or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra flair.

Notes

[‘Use cold butter for the crust to ensure flaky layers.’, ‘If your ube mash is too thick, thin it out with a splash of coconut milk before mixing the filling.’, ‘Rotate the muffin tin halfway through baking for even cooking.’, ‘Don’t overfill the pie bases to avoid spillage while baking.’, ‘Chilling the dough makes it easier to roll out and prevents shrinkage in the oven.’]
