Easy Ube Cheesecake Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

For the Crust:

• 1 cup graham cracker, crushed

• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

• ½ cup ube jam

• 2 packs (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

• 1 can (300ml) condensed milk

• 2 pcs large eggs

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

• 4 drops purple food color (optional)

HOW TO MAKE:

For the Crust:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F or 175 C.

2. Combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl.

3. Use a fork to mix everything together and then pour the mixture into the baking pan.

4. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes or until set.

5. Remove from the oven to a cooling rack. Do not turn off the oven.

For the Filling:

1. Using a stand or electric mixer, beat cream cheese and condensed milk until smooth.

2. Then add in the eggs, vanilla extract, and ube jam.

3. Continue to beat until creamy and combined.

4. Pour filling over the crust and spread evenly with a spatula.

5. Place a pan filled with water under the baking rack (this will prevent the cheesecake from being dry and cracking during baking).

6. Return pan to the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until filling is set but still jiggly in the center.

7. Cool for an hour then refrigerate until completely chilled. Enjoy!
