![]() I remember watching RuPaul’s talk show ( The RuPaul Show) on Vh1 in the late-90s. (PS: How has she not aged an ounce?! Get it, mama Ru!) I love me some drag queens and especially love me some RuPaul. It’s an addiction I’m very happy to admit. I’ve been binge-watching LogoTV’s RuPaul’s Drag Race for the past month. Top with enough evaporated milk to cover a 1/4 to the rim. Layer on another scoop of ice and halo-halo mix after that till you reach about 1/3 to the rim.Ĭut the flan into quarters and place a wedge on the top of each glass with 1-2 scoops of ube ice cream. Add a scoop of the ice in each, then add a layer of the halo-halo mix. Gather 4 sundae or chalice glasses (I used a tulip-style one). (Cook’s Note: Halo-Halo mix can be found at your local Asian market.) Place the ice cream base into your ice cream maker bowl, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Place the ice cream base into the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the grainy bits. Place the mixture into a blender or stick blender and purée till smooth. Add in the mashed ube and mix till completely incorporated. In a large sauce pot, heat the sugar and milks over medium-low heat till just-summering. If your ube is uncooked (as most are in the package) steam it in a double boiler for about 20-30 minutes.Ĭarefully remove the cooked ube and mash it with a fork. (*Cook’s Note: Ube/grated purple yam can be found at your local Asian market.) ![]() Here’s my take on Filipino halo-halo, with homemade ube ice cream and Spanish-style flan!ġ6 ounces (1 package) ube, grated purple yam* I wanted to recreate the halo-halo that reminds me of the ones I had at Magic Wok with my family. I quickly added it to my basket and enjoyed it at home. I haven’t had legit halo-halo in a few years, but during a recent trip to the local Asian market, I stumbled upon a quart of Magnolia’s Ube ice cream. ![]() The key to enjoying halo-halo to its fullest is doing exactly what its name asks: mix! And mix! Use a long spoon to mix all the layers of ingredients together. ![]() And it’s delicious.Īlone the beans, milk, ice cream, flan, shaved ice, and chunks of jackfruit and various jellies, are odd, but once mix-mixed, the blend of savory, sweet, creamy, caramel and sometimes tangy work perfectly well together. The standout part of halo-halo is the bright purple scoop of ice cream gracing the top of the ice-cold glass, called ube, a naturally-hued purple yam. The inspo: Halo-halo at Magic Wok circa 2012Īnthony Bourdain tried it for the first time on his show, Parts Unknown, and described it as, “It makes no goddam sense at all I like it,” and “it’s oddly beautiful.” ![]()
