Ube Kinampay Powder

Taste the purple magic of the Philippines.    Made from 100% real ube kinampay — Royal Purple Yam — this powder brings the sweet, nutty, and creamy taste of the islands to your kitchen. 

You’ll need:

For the Ube Milk Base:

  • 1–2 tsp Masarap Ube Kinampay powder
  • 3–4 tbsp warm water (to dissolve the powder)
  • 1–2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk (adjust to taste)
  • 120–150 ml cold milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • Ice cubes

For the Espresso:

  • 1 sachet Mr. Viet Instant Espresso
  • 50ml hot water

How to make it:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk the ube powder with 3-4 tbsp warm water until fully dissolved and smooth.
  2. Add sweetened condensed milk and mix until creamy and fully combined.
  3. Pour the ube mixture into a serving glass.
  4. Fill the glass with ice cubes.
  5. Top with cold milk and gently stir if needed to create a smooth base.
  6. In a separate cup, dissolve 1 sachet of instant coffee in 50ml hot water, stirring until fully combined.
  7. Slowly pour the espresso directly over the back of a spoon (or gently over the surface) to create a layered “money shot” effect as it bleeds into the purple milk. Serve immediately.
