Notes

– Always use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream for a rich, smooth texture.

– Let all ingredients reach room temperature before mixing to prevent lumps.

– Do not overmix after adding eggs—this can cause the cheesecake to crack during baking.

– Use a water bath to ensure even baking and a crack-free top.

– Chill the cheesecake for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, for best results.

– Ube halaya can be homemade or store-bought, but look for one with a thick, jam-like consistency.

– Ube extract enhances both the color and flavor—don’t skip it if you want that classic vibrant purple hue.

– This dessert freezes well—wrap tightly and freeze whole or by slice for up to 2 months.
