Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of ube halaya (or 1 teaspoon of ube extract), 1 cup of coconut milk, and 1/2 cup of your preferred plant milk. Add 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, your choice of sweetener, and a dash of vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
  2. Next, carefully fold in 1 cup of rolled oats into the mixture. Stir gently for about 30 seconds until each oat is coated. If done right, the mixture should turn a vibrant purple hue.
  3. Cover the container tightly and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and the oats to thicken.
  4. When ready to serve, stir well to ensure a creamy texture. Add more plant milk if needed. Top with fresh fruits, coconut shreds, or nuts just before serving.
