Aiza's Pastillas De Ube

Aiza's Pastillas de ube is a delightful Filipino sweet treat that combines the creamy goodness of pastillas (a traditional milk-based candy) with the rich and vibrant flavor of ube, also known as purple yam. To make these delectable treats, grated purple yam is cooked with condensed milk and sugar until it forms a thick, smooth paste. This mixture is then rolled into small cylindrical shapes, akin to the traditional pastillas. Finally, the pastillas are often coated in sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and to prevent sticking.
