Ube cheesecake

Hey kiddo! So, have you ever heard of cheesecake? It's a really yummy dessert made with a soft and creamy cheese called cream cheese. Now, imagine that cheesecake, but instead of being plain or having fruits on it, it's purple! That's what ube cheesecake is.

Ube is a kind of sweet potato that has a bright purple color. Like regular sweet potatoes, it's very tasty and can be boiled or steamed or even mashed into a paste. Bakers thought of adding it to their cheesecake recipe to make it colorful and unique, and it was a hit!

To make ube cheesecake, bakers mix mashed ube with cream cheese, sugar, and other ingredients until they get a smooth and thick mixture. Then, they pour it into a crust made of crushed cookies and butter or graham crackers, and bake it until it's set. Once it's cooled, they decorate it with whipped cream or more ube puree or any other toppings they like.

So, there you have it, kiddo! Ube cheesecake is a purple-colored version of cheesecake that tastes just as yummy, if not yummier, than the traditional version. It's a fun and delicious way to enjoy a classic dessert with a twist.
