More ube! I love this beautiful ube swirl design. It's so pretty and quite fun to make as well!
With the one bottle of ube extract still left, I spent most of it on this ube milk swirl bread. This bread is amazing. Not only it looks amazing, but it tastes incredible.
I'm not going to lie - you don't get much ube taste, but when you eat it with ube whipped cream (as shown) or ube jam it brings this bread to the next level!
Here is a quick rundown, on how to make the "swirl for the bread":
Make 8 balls of the plain milk bread and 8 balls of the ube bread.
Roll each ball into an 8x5" rectangle. Put one ube layer on top of one plain layer and roll it up starting from the smallest end.
Put the rolls into your loaf pan and let it rise.
To make the ube whipped cream as seen in the photos, beat together 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, 4 tablespoons powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon ube extract until stiff peaks form.
I love this ube milk swirl bread, and I know you will too! Once you break the recipe down it's easy to make. It's a great weekend project and the reward is delicious!
