Ube Cheesecake

4.8 from 9 reviews

Ingredients

Scale

For the crust:

  • 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup of unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

  • 2 (8 ounce) packages of cream cheese, softened
  • 1 300ml can of condensed milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp of vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup Ube Jam (I used Good Shepherd’s)
  • 4 drops purple food color (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 º F.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter.
  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.
  6. Meanwhile, using a stand or electric mixer, beat cream cheese and condensed milk until smooth.
  7. Then add in eggs, vanilla extract, and Ube Jam.
  8. Continue to beat until creamy and combined.
  9. Pour filling over the crust and spread evenly with a spatula.
  10. Place a pan filled with water under the baking rack. This will prevent the cheesecake from being dry and cracking during baking.
  11. Return pan to the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until filling is set but still jiggly in the center.
  12. Cool for an hour then refrigerate until completely chilled.
  13. Serve chilled.
