Description

Decadent and velvety cheesecake swirled with vibrant purple ube — a Filipino-inspired dessert that’s creamy, slightly nutty, and visually stunning.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup ube halaya (purple yam jam)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Optional: ube extract for deeper color

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 °F (163 °C). Grease a 9‑inch springform pan and line bottom with parchment.
  2. Mix graham crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, and melted butter. Press into pan bottom and bake 8 minutes. Cool.
  3. Beat cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, blending after each.
  4. Mix in vanilla, sour cream, and heavy cream until silky.
  5. Reserve 1 cup filling. Stir ube halaya (and extract, if using) into reserved portion until evenly purple.
  6. Pour plain filling into crust, then dollop ube filling on top. Swirl gently with a knife.
  7. Bake 50–60 minutes until edges are set but center slightly wobbles.
  8. Turn off oven, crack door, and let cheesecake sit 1 hour.
  9. Chill in fridge 4 hours or overnight before removing springform and slicing.

Notes

  • Use room‑temperature ingredients to avoid lumps.
  • Prevent cracks: bake in water bath or use a hot pan for moisture.
  • Add swirl design by piping ube filling before swirling.
  • Top with whipped cream or toasted coconut before serving.
  • Store in refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze slices for up to 2 months.
