What does UBE PURPLE FUSION taste best with?

It pairs beautifully with, for example:

• vanilla
• coconut
• white chocolate
• cream
• mascarpone
• mango
• passion fruit
• matcha

For the perfect Purple Latte, we recommend enhancing the flavour with a quality vanilla syrup. The combination of ube, vanilla and coconut is one of the most popular pairings of all.

Important: colour is activated by heat

UBE PURPLE FUSION contains only natural ingredients. To fully develop its signature purple colour, it needs to be heat activated.

After heating, you’ll get:

• a more intense purple shade
• a fuller flavour profile
• a more attractive look for the finished product

Recommended use

Drinks

For Purple Latte and other beverages, we recommend a dosage of 3–4%.

First, mix the powder into a small amount of hot water and allow it to activate. Then add it to frothed milk or a plant-based alternative.

Using cow’s milk will give a softer colour, while coconut milk creates a more vivid purple shade.

Creams and fillings

For cooked creams, cremeux or fillings, add the powder directly to the liquid component.

• recommended dosage 5–6%
• for a stronger effect, increase up to 10%

At higher dosages, the flavour may become slightly more starchy.

Sponges and doughs

For sponge bases, biscuits and other baked goods, you can use up to 10%.

Simply mix the powder in with the dry ingredients. During baking, the colour activates and the characteristic purple shade develops.

Decoration

UBE PURPLE FUSION can also be used as an original decoration.

For example, on tiramisu it can replace the classic cocoa layer. For an even stronger effect, lightly mist the surface with water so the purple colour really pops.

What can you create?

With this versatile ingredient, you can make, for example:

• Purple Latte
• Ube Matcha Latte
• artisan gelato and ice creams
• cheesecakes
• tiramisu
• modern desserts
• tartlets with ube ganache
• Ube & Matcha Cookies
• sponges
• creams
• mousse
