Ingredients
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1 cup water
- 27 ounces coconut milk
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 ounces
- 12 ounces whole milk
- 1 cup ube halaya
- 1 ½ cups brown sugar
- 4 teaspoons ube extract
- ¼ cup canned corn kernels drained
Instructions
- Prepare the dish. Lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch dish without coconut oil.
- Make the slurry. Whisk the cornstarch and cold water together until smooth, then set aside.
- Heat the milk mixture. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the coconut milk, condensed milk, whole milk, ube halaya, brown sugar, and ube extract.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring until smooth and gently simmering.
- Add the slurry. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Whisk the slurry again, then slowly pour it into the pot while whisking continually.
- Cook until thick. Stir in the corner. Continue cooking and stirring, scraping the bottom and sides, until the mixture bubbles gently and becomes very thick and smooth.
- Transfer immediately. Spread the hot mixture into the prepared dish and smooth the surface. Do not let it cool in the pot.
- Chill and serve. Allow the steam to subside, then cover and refrigerate for at least two hours, or until fully set. Slice, serve, and chill.
