What makes this Ube Pie so special?
The Ube Pie is made from the all-time Filipino favorite ingredient, ube, which is also known as purple yam. Ube is a staple in many Pinoy desserts, including halo-halo, cakes, and ice cream. So, when we heard that Jollibee had incorporated ube into a pie, we knew we needed to try it for ourselves!
How to make the Ube Pie?
To make this delicious dessert, here are the ingredients that you will need:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup butter (unsalted)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 egg (beaten)

Now, let’s get started with the recipe! Follow these simple instructions:

To make the pie crust, mix the flour and salt in a bowl. Add the unsalted butter into it little by little, then mix it until the mixture turns into small lumps.

Add the water little by little into the crumbs and mix until it becomes soft and smooth. Knead the dough on a floured surface for a minute.
Step 4:

Step 5:
To make the filling, mix the beaten egg, mashed ube or ube jam, condensed milk, all-purpose cream, and vanilla extract until it becomes light and smooth. Pour the mixture into the pie crust.
