🛒 INGREDIENTS
💜 FOR THE UBE BASE
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup melted butter
1½ cups white sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon ube flavoring
½ cup ube halaya
🤍 FOR THE CHEESECAKE LAYER
250 g cream cheese, softened
½ cup white sugar
1 large egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose cream or heavy cream
💜 FOR THE UBE SWIRL
3 tablespoons ube halaya
1 tablespoon all-purpose cream
½ teaspoon ube flavoring, optional
👩🍳 PROCEDURE
Prepare the Ube Base
Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
In another bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition.
Add the ube flavoring and ube halaya. Mix until smooth and evenly incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
Transfer the ube batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Prepare the Cheesecake Layer
Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the egg, vanilla, flour, and all-purpose cream. Mix until smooth and lump-free.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the ube base and gently spread evenly.
Add the Ube Swirl
Mix the ube halaya with the all-purpose cream and ube flavoring.
Drop small spoonfuls over the cheesecake layer. Use a toothpick or skewer to create beautiful ube swirls.
Bake
Bake at 170°C (340°F) for approximately 35–45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has only a slight jiggle.
Do not overbake to keep the cheesecake layer creamy.
Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours before slicing.
For cleaner cuts, chill overnight and use a warm, sharp knife.
✨ PANG-NEGOSYO TIPS
Cut into equal-sized squares and place each bar in an individual food-grade wrapper or box.
For a premium presentation, drizzle with melted white chocolate, add ube crumbs, or top with a small amount of ube halaya.
Keep refrigerated and use clean, airtight packaging.
Yield: Approximately 16–20 bars, depending on the size of your cuts.
Storage: Keep refrigerated and consume within 3–4 days for best quality.
