There’s no denying that ube and cheese are a match made in heaven. The sweet, earthiness of the ube as it blends with the sharp saltiness of the cheese effortlessly complement each other. And it almost doesn’t matter what form it comes in, whether it’s the ube cheese pandesal or ube cheese hopia.
If you haven’t tried any of the trending ube-cheese desserts or snacks, we list down the different ube and cheese treats you should try ASAP:
1 Ube Cheese Bibingka from Bibingka Manila
These moist bibingkas by Bibingka Manila are made with an ube-flavored galapong, stuffed with a delicious (and top-secret) ube halaya filling, then topped with a square of melted cheddar. It’s a unique take on a Christmas classic that’s usually plain and topped with salted egg, cheese, and lots of butter.
You can place your order of Bibingka Manila’s Ube & Cheese Bibingka (P360/box of 6) by sending a text message or Viber message to (0917) 561-4997.
2 Ube Cheese Palitaw Balls from Baked by Americia
Another classic kakanin that’s available in this famous flavor combination comes in the form of Ube Cheese Palitaw Balls, made by Baked by Americia. These balls of ube-flavored palitaw are stuffed with cheese and real ube halaya, then are rolled in desiccated coconut and topped with even more grated cheese.
You can place your order of these Ube Cheese Palitaw Balls (P120/tub of 12 pieces) by sending them an email.
3 Ube Cheese Pandesal from Bungalow Cafe & Bakery
Bungalow Cafe & Bakery’s Ube Cheese Pandesal uses ultra-soft ube-flavored pandesal that’s stuffed with ube halaya and melted cheese. These are best when it’s fresh out of the oven or reheated in the toaster to achieve that melted gooey center.
