This Maja de Ube is so delicious! You must try it too. You only need around 6 main ingredients and a few extra seasoning. Throw it together in a wok and keep mixing it. Once you see a perfect smoothness and it looks shiny then you are ready to turn off heat.
Remember to give a small allowance, it becomes thicker as it gets cool.
