A visually stunning Filipino dessert featuring sweet, creamy, and nutty ube flavors packed into individual pie towers that are perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups ube purple sweet potato, cooked and mashed
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (unsalted preferred)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pie crust, store-bought or homemade, rolled out and cut into discs
  • Optional toppings: whipped cream, toasted coconut flakes, or crushed graham crackers
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease your tart molds or muffin tin.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked and mashed ube, sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. If using homemade pie dough, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a pastry cutter or a cup to cut out circles slightly larger than your molds or muffin cups.
  4. Gently press the pie crust circles into the molds or muffin cups, ensuring the edges are evenly covered. Trim any overhang if necessary.
  5. Spoon the ube filling into each prepared crust, filling them about 3/4 full to allow room for expansion while baking.
  6. Place the tart molds or muffin tin on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes. The filling should set and the crust should turn golden brown. To check, insert a toothpick—it should come out clean.
  7. Let the pies cool in their molds for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  8. Once cooled, add whipped cream, toasted coconut flakes, or crushed graham crackers for a finishing touch.

Notes

If your filling looks too thick, add a splash of coconut milk to loosen it. Cover crust edges with foil if they brown too quickly. Prepare the filling a day in advance for convenience.
