For the past month I've been working on improving the taste of the Ube Cheesecake. Daddy C who is a big fan of Ube Cake requested that I re-create the taste of ube ice cream for the cheesecake.
The first batch of ube cheesecake was baked using just mashed boiled ube and the 2nd batch was enhanced with ube flavoring. I discussed the boys comments with Sandy my sister from another mother who lives in Vienna and she suggested I try making it again but this time use halaya (jam). See ube doesn't have any distinct taste you need to add butter and salt to boiled one or macapuno to enhance it's flavor.
Joy my fellow SAHM friend here in Dubai called up asking where I bought my ube and that she's planning to make jam, I asked her for the recipe - she adds cheddar cheese in the halaya unfortunately she was not able to give me precise measurements because the recipe her Mama gave her doesn't use any kind of measuring tools. I went on and made halaya with the help of Daddy C who suggested I add a bit of sugar or cheese till finally it was just perfect.
Ube halaya cheesecake was serve to guests during V's birthday and everyone asked for a second slice (a good sign!). Using halaya for the cheesecake mix definitely improved the taste.
