Frequently Asked Questions About Ube ice cream
What is ube ice cream?
Ube ice cream is a Filipino-style frozen dessert flavored with ube, a purple yam. It is known for its vivid color and creamy texture, with a distinctive sweet, earthy flavor.
What does ube ice cream taste like?
Ube ice cream tastes sweet and creamy, with earthy, nutty notes that some people compare to vanilla. Its flavor is distinctive, though, and is not simply the same as vanilla or taro.
Is ube ice cream the same as taro ice cream?
No. Ube ice cream is flavored with purple yam, while taro ice cream uses taro, a different root vegetable. Their colors can look similar, but taro tends to have a starchier, less sweet flavor.
Is ube ice cream Filipino?
Yes, ube ice cream is closely associated with the Philippines, where ube is a popular ingredient in desserts. The ice cream turns the purple yam’s familiar flavor into a chilled, creamy treat.
Why is ube ice cream purple?
Ube ice cream gets its purple color from pigments in the ube itself. The shade varies with the amount and type of ube used, and some commercial versions may also use added coloring.
What is ube ice cream made of?
Ube ice cream is typically made with ube or ube flavoring, dairy, and sweetener. Recipes may use cooked purple yam, ube paste, or ube extract, so the ingredients differ between homemade and packaged versions.
Can you make ube ice cream without an ice cream maker?
Yes. Mix ube with a sweetened cream base, freeze it in a covered container, and stir it several times as it firms up. This breaks up ice crystals and helps the homemade ube ice cream stay smoother.
What toppings go well with ube ice cream?
Toasted coconut, chopped nuts, and crushed wafers pair well with ube ice cream without hiding its flavor. It is also served in Filipino halo-halo, where it adds a creamy, purple-yam note to the dessert.
How should you store ube ice cream?
Keep ube ice cream in a tightly sealed container in the freezer. Return it promptly after serving and cover the surface to limit air exposure, which can lead to freezer crystals and duller flavor.
Where can you buy ube ice cream?
Look for ube ice cream at Filipino or other Southeast Asian grocery stores, specialty dessert shops, and online retailers. It may be sold as “ube” or “purple yam” ice cream, so searching both names can help.

What is Ube ice cream?
Ube ice cream is a Filipino-style frozen dessert flavoured with ube, a purple yam—not a sweet potato. The yam gives it its vivid colour and a gently earthy, nutty flavour, while the ice-cream base makes it smooth and creamy. It is usually sweet, often with a vanilla-like note.
In the Philippines, it is enjoyed by the scoop and can also be served as part of halo-halo, a layered shaved-ice dessert. Outside the Philippines, you may find it in specialist dessert shops or alongside cakes and waffles. It is mostly a source of carbohydrates and fat, with relatively little protein, so a modest scoop works well when you want its distinctive flavour without making dessert too rich.
