Notes
- If you can’t find ube powder, you can substitute it with mashed purple yams. Just make sure to cook them until soft before mashing.
- For a more pronounced ube flavor, add a few drops of ube extract or flavoring to the mixture.
- You can also add crushed nuts like cashews or peanuts for added texture and flavor.
- To make the polvoron more festive, you can add food coloring to the mixture for different colored polvoron.
