The first time I had Ube Turon was 15 years ago when my family was vacationing in the Philippines. We were staying at a really cute place called Villa Escudero. I still remember the conversation I had with the staff when I was ordering this dessert. I think the actual menu item was banana turon and also had an ube version but ube with banana. I asked the guy "Can I place an order for Turon but with no bananas?" and he responded saying "oooh so Ube Turon ma'am?". I'll never forget how he said it, cause it was in that sweet filipino accent. 

So 15 years later I was finally able to recreate this delicious dessert.
