Tips and Procedures:
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness of your filling to your liking.
- Filling options: homemade or store-bought ube custard filling and ube halaya
- You may make your own tart crust from scratch or use ready-made tart shells for ease.
- When using a homemade ube jam, make sure to use the purple yam, not the purple sweet potato. Because of its violet flesh, ube is frequently confused with purple sweet potatoes, although the two are not the same.
- Topping options: grated cheese, white chocolate, toasted coconut flakes, or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Fill the tart shells with a piping bag or a spoon to ensure proper distribution of the ube filling.
- Storage: Once the ube tarts have cooled, you can place them in an airtight container or tightly wrapped in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for a few hours before serving. If desired, re-heating them in the oven for a few minutes might help recover their crispness.
