Ube Crinkles

Jhuls @ The Not So Creative Cook

These Ube Crinkles are soft and chewy on the inside. Perfect for a sweet tooth like me!

FYI: This was first published back in 2014, but I’ve updated the post including the photos and did little changes on the recipe.

My Mom, she used to have this amazing photographic memory. While watching a cooking show, I would normally write the ingredients and the instructions. My Mom used to write down after watching. Same thing with numbers – she looks at the numbers and she can remember it for too long. My sister is the same.

Some of my friends, they are good in directions.

Me? What I’m good at relating to remembering stuff? Well, I could remember how the food tastes even if I have not eaten that certain food for years. I could remember how a certain food smells. That’s a talent, isn’t it? 😀 And I would add that I am still good at remembering people’s birthday. (Well, for some.) I was good at remembering other kinds of stuff, but one day, it’s like I am always out of my mind.

So when I was making these crinkles, I was hoping I won’t mess it up, especially that ube jam is very hard to find around here.

The main ingredient of these crinkles is ube jam made with sweet purple yam called Ube, and other ingredients like coconut milk, condensed milk and sugar.

The Ube Crinkles turned out amazing – from the texture to the taste! Just perfect!!

Below are some of the photos from the old post.

Instructions

  1. Combine sugars and egg in a bowl; beat for 3 minutes.
  2. Add softened butter and beat again until combined.

Recipe Notes

  • I baked my crinkles for 10 minutes and I got a very nice soft and chewy texture.
  • They are amazing up to 5 days at room temperature in an airtight container, but they can be kept longer when in the fridge.
  • This recipe makes about 22-24 crinkles.
