I.S.
I created lots of desserts using this ube extract! I made ube halaya that became the filling for my ube cupcake, ube layered cake and ube-cheese pandesal. I also used it for my frosting and even bilo bilo! I don't know why, but the bilo bilo with ube extract had better texture than the plain one. It was softer, chewier! I used other brand before, one that I got from an asian store but I prefer this brand, being a Filipino I can attest that it has more authentic ube flavor Also I noticed I didn't even need to put food color most of the time since it already gave my bakes that purple tinge that's so reminiscent of ube.
Kielou

If it's not chewy, it won't taste good.

It wasn't as fresh as the sample shown; it was pale, with dark brown patches, and didn't look very appetizing or fresh. Except for fresh produce, which is rarely fresh, dried produce is always better.
